Conor McGregor and Max Holloway successfully met the featherweight limit during the official UFC 329 weigh-in on March 17, 2024 [1].
The weigh-in confirms both athletes are cleared to compete in the co-main event of the card. This step is critical for the bout to proceed as scheduled, ensuring neither fighter holds a prohibited weight advantage.
The event took place at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada [1]. Both fighters tipped the scales at the required 146-pound limit [2]. The weigh-in occurred one day prior to the scheduled fight night on March 18, 2024 [1].
McGregor addressed his physical condition following the weigh-in process. He said that he is in the best shape he has ever been in and feels ready to go [3].
Previous speculation regarding the fighter's health had circulated before the event. McGregor said that the health concerns people were talking about are gone and that he is 100% ready for Holloway [4].
The co-main event is part of a larger card that has drawn significant attention from other fighters. Paddy Pimblett said that McGregor is the perfect fight for him because of the hype surrounding the matchup [5].
UFC 329 remains one of the most anticipated events of the year due to the high profile of the competitors. The official confirmation of weight allows the promotion to finalize the fight card for the March 18 event [1].
“This is the best shape I've ever been in.”
The successful weigh-in removes the final regulatory hurdle for the McGregor-Holloway bout. By hitting the 146-pound limit, McGregor demonstrates a return to the weight class where he achieved early career success, while the dismissal of health concerns suggests the fighter is attempting to project peak physical readiness to neutralize the psychological advantage of his opponent.
