Khabib Nurmgomedov Has Made Weight

UFC 229 early morning weigh-ins have begun here in Las Vegas, and Khabib Nurmagomedov, the challenger for Conor McGregor’s UFC Lightweight Championship tomorrow, has officially made weight – and championship weight, at that.

This is a big sigh of relief for everybody in the mixed martial arts community, as Khabib has been known to completely and unprofessionally miss weight and pull out of fights at the last minute in the past, and NOBODY wanted to see this fight in jeopardy. Here at Barstool Sports we cannot confirm or deny that the threats Conor McGregor made to Khabib about missing weight during the UFC 229 Press Conference at Radio City Music Hall played any effect on Khabib’s cut, but we are inclined to believe that they did.

I’ll be honest – Khabib’s cut doesn’t look like it was that excruciating just based on the eye test. Doesn’t look nearly as drained as he has in the past. Maybe he’s been putting more thought into the cut than he has been the fight? Hmmm.

Oh, update, JK, he looks drained as fuck in high quality photos. That’s more like it.
