UFC's Dana White: Conor McGregor vs. Cowboy Cerrone Not 'Even Close' Amid Rumors

Conor McGregor's return is rumored to be against Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone at UFC 246 on Jan. 18 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but UFC President Dana White told TMZ Sports that "nothing is even close to being done."

"We have nothing done, nothing is even close to being done. So, I hate to even talk about this stuff and say it because it might not happen...it might happen. But, we're looking at Cowboy."

For his part, Cerrone is itching to fight McGregor, per TMZ Sports, telling the ex-UFC champion to "sign the damn deal":

McGregor has a 21-4 professional MMA record, with his last fight occurring against Khabib Nurmagomedov for the UFC lightweight title.
