The aftermath of UFC 329 was driven by McGregor's injury, Holloway's official win, Pimblett's rapid submission and the next-step questions created by the rest of the card.
McGregor's recovery
UFC reported that McGregor announced surgery and planned rehabilitation after the knee injury. Dana White later said McGregor was having knee surgery and identified an ACL injury.
Holloway's future
UFC's post-event analysis discussed a potential next matchup with Justin Gaethje, but that was not presented as a confirmed fight announcement.
Pimblett's momentum
Pimblett's D'Arce submission of Saint Denis in 52 seconds gave him a major lightweight result.
The wider card
Bautista, Royval, Whittaker, Green and other winners left Las Vegas with new victories that can shape future matchmaking, while specific next opponents remain subject to UFC announcements.
What remains unresolved
The exact timing of McGregor's return and the next bookings for the major winners should be treated as open questions until official announcements are made.
