The bout is a rematch of their 2013 fight that McGregor won, but more than that, it\u2019s a test to see what, if anything, McGregor has left to offer \u2014 and No Bets Barred is here to break it down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">This week, host Jed Meshew is joined by Luke Noseda, AKA Long Island Luke, of Morning Kombat, the Main Card Minute, and Prop Quiz to dive into all things UFC 329.
