‘The Notorious’ is back.
Conor McGregor kicked off the year on a high note as he demolished Donald Cerrone in their main event clash at UFC 246 at the T-mobile Arena, Saturday night.
The Irish star just returned from more than a year of fighting hiatus and took care of business in Las Vegas, Nevada.
What expected as barnburner fight turned into a short affair as McGregor finished the mixed martial arts veteran just 40 seconds into the opening round.
The victory marks McGregor’s first MMA win in three years and more importantly, it could set him up to another titanic clash at 170 pounds such as against Jorge Masvidal for the ‘BMF’ title or Kamaru Usman for the welterweight championship.
“I like this weight division, I feel really good… I’ve definitely got work to do to get back where I was,” he said in the post-fight interview.
