T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada reopens its doors for a stellar UFC event and now does so with one of its most iconic fighters, Conor McGregor, who ends his absence of the octagons to measure himself against Donald Cerrone , who comes to this fight with a record of 36-13 by 21-4 presented by the Irishman and who wants to get back to the fans of this discipline in the bag after a brief foray into boxing for an exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather.
McGregor is a total showman who knows how to sell his presentations very well and who responds when the moment of truth comes, but, after starting his 7-0 career and crowning in December 2015 against Jose Aldo, his record is 2-2 and He has not won at the top stage for more than three years, so it is normal to lean towards “Cowboy”, taking as a reference what was exhibited in October 2018 when the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov overcame it with relative ease.
Despite this, you should always respect the fact that McGregor has great power in his fists and experience allows him to have a good reading of the fighting to know when to attack his opponent, so seven of his UFC victories have come by way of knockout.
“Cowboy” also knows that it may be his last chances and will seek a resounding victory in a stellar combat since in his two most recent presentations he was defeated by the fast track, which is why it can be understood that, despite three years away from the Octagon, McGregor starts as a favorite (-300) and the American appears with +240 in the odds.
Donald Cerrone likes to have his rivals on the canvas and the Irish prefer standing combat, so it will be a fight of contrasts in which emotions will not be lacking and we will see Conor return to the path of victory, which , according to Dana White, would make him the No. 1 candidate to face the winner of Khabib Nurmagomedov against Tony Ferguson, which will take place in April.
