Conor McGregor is officially back. The Irish MMA superstar weighed in at 170.5 pounds on Friday, clearing the final hurdle before his long-awaited return to the UFC octagon against Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas on Saturday — his first competitive fight in five years. McGregor has been absent from the sport since suffering a broken tibia against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021, a devastating injury that kept him on the sidelines for half a decade. His return to the welterweight division marks the first time he has competed at 170 pounds in six years, as he looks to re-establish himself as a genuine title contender in one of the most anticipated comebacks in combat sports history. Holloway, the 34-year-old Hawaiian who weighed in at a sharp 170 pounds, is looking to level the series at one win apiece — having lost to a then-rising McGregor by unanimous decision 13 years ago in their first encounter. The rematch headlines UFC 329 as the centerpiece of International Fight Week festivities in Las Vegas, with both fighters delivering memorable words at the weigh-in — Holloway declaring himself a nuclear weapon and McGregor promising fans a blockbuster event.
