A fight between Conor McGregor and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is close to happening, UFC commentator Joe Rogan said while doing a fight companion for UFC's card on ESPN on Sunday. Rogan said the fight was "a done deal, as far as I know."
McGregor has not fought since his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018 at UFC 229. McGregor was handed a six-month suspension after a post-match fight with Nurmagomedov's team. The suspension is retroactive to October.
Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is fresh off a win over Alex Hernandez last month.
