Russia weighed 70.3 kilograms (155lb), and the Irish weighing 70 kilograms (154.5lb), almost identical weight, even though Nuragomedov is three inches larger (1.78).
Just as tradition wants after each measurement of the two athletes must stand face to face and normally that was the most tense point.
McGregor couldn't hold himself and for a moment tried to kick his opponent's leg, but the latter didn't really care about it because he seemed to be used to Conor's show.
The confrontation between them is within the UFC 229, where Nurmagomedov will defend the lightweight title.
The 30-year-old from Russia is considered the favourite because McGregor has not held matches in the UFC, but the Irish is convinced of his victory.
The confrontation between them will take place on Sunday from 0400 in Las Vegas.
