LAS VEGAS – Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor’s lightweight title fight is official for UFC 229.

Nurmagomedov hit the scales just one minute after the scheduled start of the official weigh-ins at 9:00 a.m. PT, coming in at 155 pounds on the nose (via Twitter).

Nurmagomedov, 30, appeared pale and drawn out on the scale, but otherwise had no issues. It was the second time he hit the mark for a title fight after a bad weight cut forced him to withdraw from an interim title bout against Tony Ferguson at UFC 209.

McGregor, 30, McGregor weighed in at 10:06 a.m. and came in under the title limit at 154.5 pounds. He gave a celebratory yell and made a fist before making a quick exit (via Twitter).

McGregor didn’t rule out fighting Nurmagomedov in the event the Dagestani fighter failed to make weight. But with his rival on the mark, he didn’t have to make any concessions.

The lightweight title tilt is one of the most highly anticipated fights in the promotion’s history. The UFC expects Saturday’s pay-per-view event to shatter its buyrate record set by McGregor vs. Nate Diaz at UFC 202.

The fight card takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with preliminary card bouts on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass teeing up the PPV main card.
