This weekend comes the return of ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor, ready for his main event fight with Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246 in Las Vegas, Nevada. We finally get to see a motivated Conor McGregor again, many of us thought that’d never happen. Though Cerrone’s coming off two losses, McGregor hasn’t had a win since late 2016. It’ll be very interesting to see how this one unfolds, this is a real dream match up.
We also have a great main card opener between former WEC/UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony ‘Showtime’ Pettis and the surging Carlos Diego Ferreira, who’s on a six-fight win streak and hasn’t lost since his fight with Dustin Poirier, which was Poirier’s return to the lightweight division back in early 2015. This is a great night of fights for the UFC’s first card of the year! Fight Card posted below:
