Conor McGregor is headed back to the Octagon in the new year. At least, that’s what the former two-division UFC champion claims.
The date McGregor is targeting is January 18. The setting is the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The opponent? Well, that remains to be seen.
While it’s still not clear who McGregor will fight if he indeed returns to the Octagon in January, ESPN’s Ariel Helwani recently reported that popular lightweight gunslinger Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is the most likely candidate.
McGregor vs. Cerrone is a dream fight in the eyes of just about every fight fan; a clash between two of MMA’s most ferocious finishers and most compelling personalities.
