UFC 329 Weigh‑Ins: McGregor vs Holloway Scales Live

Official Scales Open (12‑2 PM ET)

Friday’s official weigh‑ins in Las Vegas begin at noon Eastern and run through 2 PM, giving fighters their first opportunity to verify they meet the required limits. Conor McGregor and Max Holloway, together with the 24 other combatants of International Fight Week, will line up for the morning checks that precede the evening ceremony. These early weigh‑ins are crucial because any excess poundage can trigger a costly penalty or force a fighter into an uneven weight class.

The main event is a non‑title welterweight clash, so both athletes must stay at or below 171 pounds. Co‑headliners Benoît Saint Denis and Paddy Pimblett face a lightweight limit of 156 pounds for their bout. Staying under the mark is essential, as a missed cut not only alters the fight dynamics but can also affect betting odds and fan expectations.
