Can Conor Overcome Donald Cerrone at UFC 246?

Conor McGregor will finally make his much-anticipated return inside the UFC octagon. He will fight for the first time in more than a year after his championship match loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. He will face UFC veteran Cowboy Cerrone. The fight will take place at the welterweight division, and will mark Conor’s return back to a weight class where he has shallow experience.

It is a spectacular match-up that is bound to create a lot of excitement. Donald Cerrone has a lethal submission game and can prove to be troublesome for the Irishman. If the fight happens on the feet, Conor will have an advantage going forward. However, Cerrone’s kickboxing shouldn’t be taken lightly either.
