Live from the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, Conor McGregor and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone square off at UFC 246!

McGregor is back in the octagon, baby! The “Notorious” one is making his first UFC appearance since October of 2018 when he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. Later tonight, the lightning rod of controversy is set to clash with Donald Cerrone.

Cowboy enters tonight’s UFC fight at 36-13, last losing to Justin Gaethje at a UFC Fight Night event in September of 2019. The tale of the tape shows that Cowboy has a slight height advantage (6’1″ to 5’9″), while McGregor has the reach (74 to 73). Who will exit the T-Mobile Arena with a victory? We’re about to find out.
