What conor mcgregor said as he weighed in at 170lbs for ufc return

Conor McGregor sent a message to the Nevada Athletic Commission and UFC fans this evening at the UFC 246 official weigh-ins. McGregor's long-awaited return to the Octagon will take

place early on Sunday morning. The former two-division champion will be welcomed back to the Octagon by fellow fan favourite Donald Cerrone, whom he'll meet in a welterweight showdown.

McGregor, who was last in action at UFC 229 in October 2018, took to the scales this evening as a 170lb fighter for the first time since his back-to-back fights with Nate Diaz in 2016. The

Irishman weighed in at 168lbs for his wars with the youngest Diaz brother but came in heavier for his showdown with Cerrone. The UFC's first simultaneous champion weighed in at 170lbs

on the nose, which came as a surprise to many as he said he was well under the weight limit a few days ago. EXPRESS SPORT IS REPORTING LIVE FROM LAS VEGAS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE UK’S NO.1
