  LIGHTWEIGHT RETURN

  UFC 257 will mark Conor McGregor's long-awaited return to the stacked lightweight division.

  The Notorious hasn't competed in the weight class since coming up short in his UFC 229 grudge match with Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018.

  DON'T SWEAT IT

  McGregor's team are confident he'll easily make weight for this showdown – despite his significantly larger physique.

  McGregor's newly-acquired mass has prompted concerns he could miss weight for his UFC 257 clash with the former interim lightweight champion.

  But SunSport understands Team McGregor have no concerns about the Irishman's larger frame having an adverse effect on his weight cut.

  Sources have insisted the Dubliner's thicker body, the result of rigorous strength and conditioning sessions during 2020, will not prevent him from hitting the required weight.

  In order for his desert dust-up with The Diamond to go ahead, he must weigh in at 156lbs.
