Conor McGregor’s fight with Donald Cerrone was billed as a tune-up, and he sure did tune Donald up.
It took only 40 seconds for McGregor to bust up Cowboy’s nose with a jumping shoulder, then wobble him with a head kick (!!), before getting the TKO with big shots on the ground. There was nothing competitive about this, and T-Mobile Arena went berserk. McGregor’s comeback was about as desirable for him and the UFC as possible.
For as short as the fight was, McGregor didn’t look rusty whatsoever and I’m sure there will now be that massive push for him to get the Khabib Nurmagomedov-Tony Ferguson winner.
