Undefeated prospects, a returning Olympic champion, and a run of Brazil-vs-USA clashes stack the Las Vegas prelims — here is how to read the card before you lock your picks.
UFC 329 lands at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, 11 July 2026, headlined by McGregor vs. Holloway 2. But the pick’em game is won and lost on the undercard, and this one is loaded with unbeaten records, veterans, and a striking mix of nations — Brazil, the USA, Afghanistan, Aruba, China and England all show up before the main card. Here is where the favorites sit, where the intrigue lives, and what to watch as you build your card.
Three names walk in without a loss, and unbeaten fighters are always the cleanest starting point for a pick.
Damian Pinas (9-1-0) of Aruba against Cesar Almeida (7-2-0) of Brazil is one of the harder reads on the card. Pinas owns the tidier record — one loss to Almeida’s two — but both men are relatively low on fight count, which is exactly the kind of matchup where upsets hide. If you want a differentiator pick to separate yourself from the crowd, this is a candidate.
Cody Garbrandt (15-7-0) versus Adrian Yanez (17-6-1) is an all-USA bantamweight scrap between two proven names. The records are close — Yanez holds slightly more wins and one fewer loss — so this leans toward a coin-flip that rewards whoever reads the styles better.
At heavyweight, Gable Steveson (3-0-0) returns undefeated against Elisha Ellison (5-2-0). Steveson is unbeaten but has only three pro fights; Ellison has more cage time but two losses. A short-resume unbeaten against a more-tested opponent — another honest toss-up.
Watch the unbeaten prospects — Basharat, Riley, Gandra, Steveson, Cong — because that is where your safe points and your traps both live. The cleanest leans are the fighters pairing strong records with more fights: Basharat and Costa stand out. The bouts that will separate the leaderboard are the low-sample toss-ups: Pinas vs Almeida, Garbrandt vs Yanez, and Cortez vs Cong.
No guarantees here — just the records and the matchups. Read the card, trust the resumes where they are clear, and take a swing where they are not. Lock your picks in the app and see how your read stacks up against your friends.
