McGregor-Holloway 2 peaks at 8.3M concurrent viewers on Paramount+

Conor McGregor's UFC 329 comeback against Max Holloway hit 8.3 million concurrent viewers on Paramount+, according to ESPN.

The rematch reached 15.9 million total viewers across the United States and Latin America. The numbers mark a significant showing for the streaming platform's first McGregor pay-per-view.

How McGregor-Holloway 2 stacked up against recent UFC events

The concurrent peak puts UFC 329 ahead of the promotion's White House card earlier this year. That event featured President Trump in attendance and drew considerable mainstream attention but failed to match the Irish star's draw.

McGregor and Holloway first met in 2013, with McGregor winning by decision. The rematch came more than 11 years later as both fighters looked to reestablish their places in the lightweight picture.

UFC 330 is scheduled for May in Las Vegas, though no main event has been announced.
