McGregor vs Cerrone UFC 246 on January 18, 2020

Conor McGregor will make his UFC return against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone on January 18, the organisation’s president Dana White has said.

The Irishman has not fought in the octagon since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov via submission at UFC 229 in October 2018.

McGregor announced his retirement from mixed martial arts on social media in March, but in October stated his intention to return in the new year.

And it now appears the 31-year-old will take on Cerrone at UFC 246 in Las Vegas on January 18.

Here, we document the rivalry between the two men to explore how a fight between the two old foes emerged.
