Conor McGregor and Max Holloway make weight for UFC 329 rematch in Las Vegas
Published
3 months agoon
Conor McGregor and Max Holloway tipped the scales on Friday ahead of their UFC 329 clash, and their rematch is now official.
McGregor and Holloway both made the welterweight limit in “Sin City.†The Irishman weighed in at 170.5 pounds, while Holloway hit the 170-pound mark. That means that barring unforeseen circumstances at the last minute, McGregor vs. Holloway 2 will take place as planned on Saturday inside T-Mobile Arena.
This is a chance for McGregor to prove that what he truly believes will come to fruition. The “Notorious†one feels that spending five years away from the Octagon has worked in his favor since he is now a fresher fighter than before. McGregor also claims he has renewed focus in his life, and he vows to decimate Holloway.
“Blessed†will do all he can to wipe away the memory of his disappointing showing against Charles Oliveira back in March. While Holloway was hoping to retain the BMF Championship in style, he struggled with Oliveira's grappling for five rounds on his way to a unanimous decision loss. Holloway is searching for a vintage performance against his old adversary.
Aug. 17, 2013 was the date McGregor and Holloway first shared the Octagon. The two collided in the prelims of a UFC “Fight Night†card in Boston. Despite suffering a torn ACL, McGregor powered through to earn a unanimous decision victory. Since that time, both men have become icons of MMA in their own way. McGregor ended up being the biggest star the sport has ever seen, while Holloway is a beloved fan favorite.
Make sure to keep it locked on the BJPenn.com homepage for live coverage of UFC 329 on Saturday. Live results and video highlights will be posted throughout the event.

Paul Felder: ‘I thought he had a heart attack’ at UFC Vegas 121

Felder has witnessed several shocking moments during his years
working
Ultimate Fighting Championship events, but Raoni
Barcelos' collapse at
UFC Vegas 121 left him particularly shaken.
Felder was on commentary duty at Meta Apex in Las Vegas for the
latest Fight Night. The main event, which was a back-and-forth
battle, ended in frightening fashion as Barcelos appeared to go
limp during a wrestling exchange against the Octagon wall in the
final round. The referee immediately stopped the contest, and
Barcelos was removed from the Octagon on a stretcher and
transported to a hospital.
It was later confirmed that Barcelos was conscious and responsive.
For Felder, the moments after the finish remain unforgettable.
Paul Felder revisits Raoni Barcelos' collapse at UFC Vegas 121:
‘I thought he had a heart attack'
Speaking on the “Believe You Me†podcast, Felder recalled his
immediate reaction while watching the medical team attend to
Barcelos. The former fighter was alarmed when he saw a doctor check
Barcelos' pulse, something he said he had never witnessed in
similar circumstances.
“His neck was all clinched up and he was unconscious,†Felder said.
“And it looked like he was — I thought he had a heart attack, off
the bat. Then they came in, and they checked his pulse, which was
terrifying to see. I have never seen somebody that was KO'd, where
they come in and the first thing they did, the doctor put his
fingers right on Raoni's pulse. I was like, ‘Oh, this is really
bad.â€
Felder said the uncertainty continued as Barcelos remained
motionless.
“He was just not getting up and then I'm thinking, ‘Is it a stroke?
Is it a heart attack?'†Felder added. “But if they weren't doing
CPR and his pulse was at least there and present and he's
breathing, probably not a heart attack.â€
Barcelos reportedly remains under medical supervision but has
addressed fans on social media, assuring them that he is doing
well.
