3 UFC fighters face a disciplinary hearing and a withheld purse for climbing the cage following their victories

Three UFC fighters — England's Paddy Pimblett, America's Max Holloway, and America's Gable Steveson — are facing disciplinary hearings from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) and potential purse withholdings after climbing or leaving the Octagon cage following their victories at UFC 329 in Las Vegas on July 11, 2026. Pimblett defeated Benoit Saint-Denis, Holloway defeated Conor McGregor, and Steveson defeated Elisha Ellison at the event. As a precedent, Diego Lopes was fined $2,500 from a $100,000 purse for a similar cage-climbing violation at UFC 300 in 2024.
