UFC 246: The history of ‘Conor McGregor vs Donald Cerrone’

Donald Cerrone and Conor McGregor are two of the biggest superstars of MMA who have never faced each other inside an octagon. The fight has its roots in 2015 when the duo got engaged in a heated argument during a press conference. Well, things did not come to fruition as McGregor and Cerrone went ahead with their separate MMA careers. However, that was only until both the men experienced ‘bad fate’ in their latest bouts. Donald Cerrone, the man with the most UFC knockouts, got knocked out in his last two fights against Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje. His upcoming bout against Conor McGregor is going to determine his future in UFC. McGregor, on the other hand, needs to win his next fight in order to validate his callouts against Jorge Masvidal or Khabib Nurmagomedov. Take a look at the story that brought Donald Cerrone and Conor McGregor on the same line.
