Conor McGregor Officially Back for UFC 329 After Successful Weigh-In Friday Morning

In the last several months, questions surrounding the return of Conor McGregor (170 1/2 lbs) ahead of Saturday's fight against Max Holloway (170 lbs) have been running rampant, including ones surrounding which version of McGregor is the one showing up at UFC 329. This morning, one question was answered.

McGregor will be coming in half of a pound under the 171-lb nontitle maximum for welterweights. Holloway will be coming in on championship weight for tomorrow night's main event.

Friday marked five years to the day since Conor McGregor last fought in the UFC. After making weight today, his return in a five-round fight at five minutes per round is now locked in.

The co-headlining attraction of UFC 329 is also cleared for takeoff after the weigh-ins this morning. Lightweights take to the fabled Octagon in the co-main event tomorrow night when Benoit Saint-Denis (156 lbs) meets Paddy Pimblett (156 lbs.)

The latter will be coming in off of a loss for the first time in his UFC tenure. This past January, Pimblett was defeated by Justin Gaethje via unanimous decision after five rounds. Saturday's co-main event is a three-round fight at five minutes per round.
