Saturday at the T-Mobile in Las Vegas will mark the return to UFC of Conor McGregor , who will be against Donald Cerrone in the Welterweight (between 70.3 and 77.1 kg). Tickets sold out in in three minutes, according to distributors. What is certain is that the return of the Irish to the octagon in at UFC 246 , 15 months after his last appearance.
The Notorius , who in his last fight lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov, will be far from the maximum 170 pounds of the welterweight – he is 160 -, although according to Dana White, it seems that the Dubliner is built like never before: ” The UFC doctor told me that in his opinion Conor is in the best shape he has seen him”.
The case is that the first champion in two divisions that has been in the UFC competed in the welterweight against Nate Diaz twice and had no problem staying at 168 pounds (76.2 kg), although it is true that he did not win until the second . The UFC boss said McGregor “will be somewhat rusty,” but that he will reach at least 168 on the scale. In this regard, Conor said that this is not an issue that matters to him and that he can win ‘Cowboy’ “even if I had the flu.”
