Conor McGregor and Max Holloway make weight for UFC 329 rematch in Las Vegas

Conor McGregor and Max Holloway tipped the scales on Friday ahead of their UFC 329 clash, and their rematch is now official.

McGregor and Holloway both made the welterweight limit in “Sin City.” The Irishman weighed in at 170.5 pounds, while Holloway hit the 170-pound mark. That means that barring unforeseen circumstances at the last minute, McGregor vs. Holloway 2 will take place as planned on Saturday inside T-Mobile Arena.

This is a chance for McGregor to prove that what he truly believes will come to fruition. The “Notorious” one feels that spending five years away from the Octagon has worked in his favor since he is now a fresher fighter than before. McGregor also claims he has renewed focus in his life, and he vows to decimate Holloway.

“Blessed” will do all he can to wipe away the memory of his disappointing showing against Charles Oliveira back in March. While Holloway was hoping to retain the BMF Championship in style, he struggled with Oliveira’s grappling for five rounds on his way to a unanimous decision loss. Holloway is searching for a vintage performance against his old adversary.

Aug. 17, 2013 was the date McGregor and Holloway first shared the Octagon. The two collided in the prelims of a UFC “Fight Night” card in Boston.  Despite suffering a torn ACL, McGregor powered through to earn a unanimous decision victory. Since that time, both men have become icons of MMA in their own way. McGregor ended up being the biggest star the sport has ever seen, while Holloway is a beloved fan favorite.
