Today, Conor McGregor and Max Holloway have successfully tipped the scales at the weigh-in for UFC 329, one day before their Las Vegas main event.
The Irishman and Holloway will clash at welterweight at UFC 329, 13 years after McGregor outpointed the Hawaiian at featherweight, and five years after McGregor last fought.
In his last fight, McGregor sustained a broken leg in a loss to Dustin Poirier, before a broken toe ruled him out of a 2024 bout with Michael Chandler on two weeks’ notice. 2024 was also marred by a civil court case in which a jury found McGregor, 37, liable for rape in 2018. McGregor continues to deny the allegations against him, although his appeal against the verdict failed.
Against Holloway, McGregor meets a fellow former world champion, considered by many to be an all-time great. Both men held featherweight gold, while McGregor went on to win the lightweight belt before dabbling at 170lb. Holloway has also fought at lightweight, but Saturday marks his welterweight debut.

Pimblett off to have pancakes
That’s what he says! He’ll be refuelling asap.
Pimblett looking bad?
Pimblett is speaking to former UFC champs Daniel Cormier and Chris Weidman, and he… doesn’t look good.
It’s not necessarily a new sight, and he’s hydrating while speaking right now, but his skull is so pronounced, his eye sockets are deeply set, even his pupils look a little off…
Kamaka on weight before Riley bout
Kai Kamaka III is okay at 146lb, ahead of his featherweight clash with Pimblett’s teammate Luke Riley.
