The UFC launches its 2020 campaign with McGregor returning to the octagon against Cerrone as the headliner of UFC 246 on Saturday, Jan. 18 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
This bout marks McGregor’s first fight since his fourth-round submission loss to Nurmagomedov in October 2018. Prior to that, you’d have to go back to November 2016 for McGregor’s last victory — a second-round TKO of Eddie Alvarez. That fact sparks greater urgency for the Irish fighter to get a win.
