After every fighter hit the scale this morning, the only thing left before UFC 329 is the event\u2019s ceremonial weigh-ins and final face-offs. <\/p>\n

Following a rare break in the UFC schedule, the promotion is back home in Las Vegas, NV this week for a UFC 329 card that\u2019s headlined by Conor McGregor\u2019s return fight against fellow UFC star Max Holloway<\/a>. <\/p>\n

McGregor previously took a unanimous decision over Holloway when the pair met in 2013 at featherweight<\/a>, but now \u201cThe Notorious\u201d is set to return from a five-year hiatus and welcome the former UFC \u201cBMF\u201d champion to the promotion\u2019s welterweight division. <\/p>\n

The headliners for UFC 329 were two of the first ones to hit the scale on Friday morning during early weigh-ins<\/a>, which saw a total of 28 fighters successfully make weight ahead of the event. <\/p>\n

McGregor has already competed at 170 lbs. on three different occasions, most recently in 2020 when he took on Donald \u201cCowboy\u201d Cerrone in the main event of UFC 246. <\/p>\n

That fight saw \u201cThe Notorious\u201d stopped Cerrone in just 40 seconds, which stands as his most recent victory and also marked the first time McGregor got his hand raised since knocking out Eddie Alvarez in 2016. <\/p>\n

The soon-to-be 38-year-old was famously submitted by Nate Diaz in a short-notice welterweight bout at UFC 196 for his first UFC loss, but McGregor avenged that result when he took a majority decision in their immediate rematch later that year. <\/p>\n

UFC 329 will mark the first time that Holloway has competed at 170 lbs., which looks to be quite a jump for the Hawaiian given that he only made the full-time move to lightweight last year. <\/p>\n

\u201cBlessed\u201d established himself as one of the greatest featherweights in MMA history<\/a> with a lengthy win streak and eventual title reign following his loss to McGregor in 2013. He last competed at 145 lbs. at UFC 308, where he suffered the first knockout loss of his career to then-Featherweight Champion Ilia Topuria.<\/p>\n

That result followed Holloway\u2019s iconic knockout of Justin Gaethje in a 155 lbs. \u201cBMF\u201d title bout at UFC 300. The Hawaiian rebounded from his loss to Topuria with a successful \u201cBMF\u201d title defense against Dustin Poirier <\/a>before relinquishing the belt to Charles Oliveira, with both of those fights taking place in the lightweight division.<\/p>\n
