UFC 329 has officially produced the highest gate in promotional history.That means ticket sales for the Las Vegas event this weekend, headlined by Conor McGregor‘s comeback fight against Max Holloway, have generated the most money ever for a UFC card.McGregor has vowed to roll back the years and put on a dominant performance against Holloway on SaturdayGettyMcGregor fights for the first time since July 2021 in the main event of UFC 329 on Saturday, with Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett facing Benoit Saint Denis in the chief support act.The 37-year-old broke his leg in his last fight against Dustin Poirier and has already recorded a victory over Holloway in Dana White‘s promotion when the pair met at UFC Boston in 2013.In May, general public tickets went on sale for McGregor vs Holloway 2, and, as expected, prices were through the roof, with the cheapest costing around $1,800, while VIP offers were available from $3,500.This led UFC CEO White to anticipate the event would break the company’s all-time gate record, which has sat at $21.8million since September 2024.That record came about from the UFC Noche event at Las Vegas’ Sphere, when Merab Dvalishvili defeated Sean O’Malley over five rounds to become the new bantamweight champion.However, White revealed during UFC 329’s press conference on Thursday that the record has now been broken.Dana White confirms new UFC gate recordAsked how this McGregor fight week compares to previous ones, White simply responded: “Biggest gate in UFC’s history.”Reports suggest the gate for UFC 329 is roughly $25m, although the promotion has yet to officially announce the number.Regardless of the figure, McGregor has now headlined three of the top four highest-selling gates in UFC history.His historic lightweight title win against Eddie Alvarez — when McGregor became the first simultaneous champion in UFC history — is third with $17.7m.McGregor vs Holloway 2 is officially the biggest gate in UFC historyGettyFurthermore, McGregor’s famous submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018 now sits at fourth in the highest UFC event gates in promotional history with $17.2m.“Thank you to the fans. Thank you to our fans,” McGregor added when White revealed the record had been beaten at the conference.Making his prediction for the bout, McGregor said: “Destruction. I’m going to destroy Max.“I’m going to eliminate Max, the final opponent of mine still within the UFC ranks.“All of my other opponents are gone.“Max is the last one left, and on Saturday night, he gets eliminated for good.”UFC 306 at Sphere held the previous record for the biggest gateGettyHolloway hasn’t fought since a dominant unanimous decision loss to Charles Oliveira at UFC 326 in March.‘Blessed’ has notable wins over Poirier and Justin Gaethje in the last two years, but was brutally knocked out in his most recent championship bout against Ilia Topuria in October 2024.UFC 329Sign up to talkSPORT BET and pick your winnerMax Holloway to win @ 30/1Connor McGregor to win @ 50/1CLAIM HERE18+ New customers only.
