The UFC’s new era on Paramount+ has not been without some hitches.

Saturday saw the latest numbered event take place on the streaming platform, as Conor McGregor’s return headlined UFC 329.

Fans may not be clamoring to rewatch the headline attraction of International Fight Week, which concluded with McGregor vs Holloway 2 ending in an injury to the Irish star after just 69 seconds.

The rest of the lineup in Las Vegas delivered plenty of memorable moments, but just like every card on Paramount+ so far, a full event replay is not available.

Dana White says he is aware fans can’t watch full event replays after UFC 329

With the promotion’s ESPN agreement concluding at the start of 2026, the UFC inked a $7.7 billion deal with Paramount.

Reviews have been mixed since the streaming platform took over, but one gripe has stood out above the rest in the eyes of fans.

The lack of full event replays has bugged many, and Dana White was apparently finally alerted to the issue after his own family members unsusccessfully flocked to rewatch last month’s UFC Freedom 250 card at the White House.

“Made aware of it? My fans were torturing me that they couldn’t watch the White House fight event,” White said at the UFC 329 post-fight press conference after being asked if he knew about the issue.

“They’re not wrong. But the problem is the music. The music, and you’ve gotta take the walkouts out.

“We’re working on it,” he continued. “You’re not wrong, and I’ve been getting tortured over this in my own house.”

Those remarks will come as music to the ears of fans who have so far been denied a pretty basic feature that was readily available during the ESPN era.

It remains to be seen when Paramount will introduce full event replays, but fans will be hoping for a fix to be put into place in time for the next numbered event.

UFC 330 takes place in Philadelphia on August 15, with Ian Machado Garry challenging Islam Makhachev for the welterweight title in the main event.
