Below is a detailed breakdown of the official results, performance bonuses, and what the outcomes mean for the future of the sport.
Main Event – Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway
After months of speculation, the “Mac” stepped back into the cage to face the reigning feather‑weight champion, Max Holloway. The bout lived up to its hype, with both athletes displaying striking precision and relentless pressure. In a tightly contested five‑round battle, Holloway retained his title via unanimous decision. The judges scored the fight 48‑47, 48‑47, and 49‑46 in favor of Holloway, rewarding his higher volume of significant strikes and effective grappling.
Key moments included McGregor’s early leg kicks that tested Holloway’s mobility, and a second‑round flurry from the champion that forced McGregor to retreat. The final round saw both fighters exchange blows at a break‑neck pace, but Holloway’s superior cardio allowed him to maintain control until the final bell.

The co‑main event featured a clash for the women’s flyweight belt. Valentina Shevchenko defended her title against Katlyn Chookagian. Shevchenko showcased her trademark grappling and striking versatility, securing a technical knockout in the third round after a series of takedowns and ground‑and‑pound that left Chookagian unable to continue.
