Fight’s on!
Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz both took to the scales on Friday morning in Las Vegas for the new early weigh-in procedure.
And, unsurprisingly, the UFC featherweight champion and the number-4 ranked lightweight weighed in without issue for their welterweight rematch at UFC 202.
‘The Notorious’, the second last fighter to arrive, weighed in at 168 lbs while his opponent tipped the scales at 170.5 lbs ahead of Saturday night’s main event.
All fighters are given an allowance of one pound in non-title fights so Diaz’s weight is absolutely fine for the bout.
McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov came in under the featherweight limit at 144.5 lbs and Diaz’s protege Chris Avila came in at 146 lbs for their SBG vs. Stockton showdown.
All fighters competing this weekend will square off at the broadcast “weigh-ins” later on Friday evening which will be the last time they come face-to-face until fight time.
