The news comes on the heels of champion Khabib Nurmagomedov making weight as the first man on the scales today. There was obviously a ton of uncertainty surrounding ‘The Eagle’s’ mark on the scale.
McGregor came in late as he usually does. He was a half-pound below the lightweight title fight limit of 155 pounds. Both fighters looked in shape and ready.
So all concerns in terms of weight have been checked off the list. The UFC’s biggest match-up can now proceed as planned.
For once, the MMA gods have smiled upon us today. Who will win in Vegas tomorrow night?
