Conor McGregor, known as 'The Notorious', is set to make his long-awaited return to the UFC after a five-year hiatus. The Irish fighter successfully passed his weigh-in at 77.3 kg for the welterweight division, preparing for his main event bout against Max Holloway at UFC 329. Holloway, a former featherweight and BMF champion, weighed in slightly lighter at 77.1 kg.

This matchup is particularly significant as it marks the first time the two fighters will meet in over a decade, with their last encounter dating back to 2013 when McGregor won by unanimous decision. Both fighters displayed intense rivalry during the weigh-in, engaging in a psychological battle as they faced off, with neither backing down.

Holloway expressed his determination to avenge his previous loss, stating, "If McGregor is a missile, I am a nuclear bomb," indicating his confidence in securing victory. McGregor, on the other hand, has made bold claims about his performance, suggesting he could finish the fight in just ten seconds. He also criticized Holloway's aspirations for a third fight, dismissing them as financially motivated.

The co-main event features a clash between Benoit Saint-Denis and Paddy Pimblett, both of whom also completed their weigh-ins successfully. Saint-Denis, ranked fifth in the lightweight division, weighed in at 70.3 kg, while Pimblett came in at 70.8 kg. Their pre-fight exchanges have also been filled with confidence and promises of an entertaining matchup.

UFC 329, featuring McGregor vs. Holloway 2, will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and is expected to attract significant attention from fans worldwide.
