The UFC 329 main event between Max Holloway and Conor McGregor was a letdown for many, including former UFC champion Daniel Cormier. While Holloway emerged victorious, the fight was short-lived and lacked the action fans had hoped for. Cormier, who has a personal connection to both fighters, believes that Holloway is not satisfied with the outcome, as he is a competitor at heart. He compares this disappointing main event to UFC 321, where Tom Aspinall's fight was called off due to an eye injury. Cormier highlights the contrast between the two events, noting that the UFC 321 fight, though called off, at least provided a glimpse of what the fight could have been like. He speculates that Holloway, a close friend, is eager for a trilogy bout to settle the score with McGregor, who was visibly hurt early in the fight. Cormier also discusses the impact of the injury on McGregor, who is vowing to return, and the overall disappointment of the event, which featured several exciting finishes earlier in the card. He reflects on the importance of competitive fights and the frustration of a premature end to a highly anticipated bout. Cormier's commentary adds a layer of personal insight and analysis, offering a unique perspective on the event and its implications for the UFC and its fighters.
