Conor McGregor is officially back.
The former two-division champion stepped to the scale for the first time in five years, and successfully made weight, coming in at 170.5 pounds (making use of a one-pound allowance for a non-title bout) for his welterweight rematch against Max Holloway (170) that headlines UFC 329 on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. McGregor previously defeated Holloway in August 2013, when the two were up-and-coming prospects in the featherweight division.
Holloway was the first fighter to weigh-in Friday morning, followed by Cory Sandhagen and then McGregor.
