Cerrone, who like McGregor normally competes at lightweight, had said during fight week that he was enjoying not having to cut weight for Saturday night’s welterweight clash at the T-Mobile Arena.

But the American looked a lot leaner than the Irishman on stage at the Park Theatre for Friday night’s ceremonial weigh-in ceremony.

“He’s a little fatigued, I imagine,” McGregor told a media scrum backstage afterwards. “He’s had a bit of a cut. I imagine he’s a had a heavy cut, to be honest.

“He looks a bit drained. But I’m fresh and I’m coming in. I’m coming in to take him out and that’s it.”
