It took a while for Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone to be made official. The welterweight fight was only announced on Friday as it is set to headline UFC 246 on January 18 in Las Vegas. And now the official promo video is here as it was played during the broadcast of UFC 245 on […]
McGregor will be making his return to action for the first time in 15 months. His last fight was a fourth-round submission defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov. Cerrone, meanwhile, is on a two-fight losing run having suffered knockout defeats to Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje.
It is very possible that the winner could be next in line to challenge Nurmagomedov for the title next if the latter gets past Tony Ferguson.

It was released via the Las Vegas-based mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion’s UFC Asia Twitter page. You can check out the poster below. UFC 246 goes down live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, at welterweight, former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor takes on Cerrone.
McGregor is coming off a submission loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October of last year. Should McGregor emerge victorious, he’ll likely receive a rematch with the Russian for the lightweight title. However, he’ll have to get past Cerrone, one of the toughest veterans the MMA game has ever seen.

UFC president Dana White has fired back at those who have a problem with Conor McGregor being booked to fight despite a couple of sexual assault accusations coming out of Ireland.
McGregor will headline the UFC 246 pay-per-view (PPV) event from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, January 18, 2020. The Irishman returns at 170 pounds against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. Speaking in an interview with Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole, White was asked about the criticism he has received for booking McGregor to fight despite the sexual assault allegations.
White said he didn’t even know there was criticism for the booking, and noted that the allegations against McGregor are only just allegations, and McGregor hasn’t been charged with anything. He won’t stop someone from making a living based solely on accusations. (H/T BJPenn.com)
“I didn’t even know (about the criticism),” White said. “He hasn’t been charged with anything. You can’t accuse somebody and stop them from making a living when they haven’t even been charged of anything.
“Conor McGregor has made a lot of bad decisions in the past several years. He has paid for it. He walked into court and plead guilty to punching that guy in the face in Ireland. He paid for the slapping of the phone out of the thing. He attacked the bus and paid for that.”
White indicated he wasn’t sure where things stood in regards to the sexual assault allegations against McGregor, but noted, had he been charged with something, McGregor probably wouldn’t be fighting.
“He’s obviously done some things,” White said. “He’s been charged and paid and done everything he’s supposed to do. These other things, first of all I don’t even know. Has it said that he’s the guy that’s being accused?
“Listen, if he was being charged with something right now. It would be a different story. The New York Times have wrote those stories, but there are no other stories out there about Conor McGregor.”
What do you make of White’s response to the criticism of booking McGregor to fight despite sexual assault accusations?
