UFC 246 is one of the most anticipated pay-per-view events in recent years. The event features a headline bout between two of the biggest names in MMA, Conor McGregor and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, in what promises to be a thrilling fight at 170 pounds. The event marks the return of the Irish superstar McGregor, who has not fought since being submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018. McGregor is a proven knockout artist with a 21-4 record, and he has held titles in both the featherweight and lightweight divisions. His flashy style, trash-talk and ability to back it up with his fists have made him one of the biggest draws in the sport.
Standing opposite McGregor is the experienced veteran Cerrone, who holds the record for most wins (23) and most finishes (16) in UFC history. Cerrone is a fan favorite known for his exciting fighting style and willingness to take on anyone, anytime, anywhere. Despite being a heavy underdog, Cerrone has the skills and experience to give McGregor a tough test in the octagon.
The co-main event of the evening features a women's bantamweight bout between former champion Holly Holm and rising star Raquel Pennington. Holm is best known for her stunning knockout of Ronda Rousey at UFC 193, which saw her become the first fighter to defeat the previously undefeated Rousey. Pennington, who has been on a bit of a losing streak lately, will be looking to turn things around with a win over the former champion.
Other notable fights on the main card include a lightweight bout between Anthony Pettis and Diego Ferreira, a women's strawweight bout between Alexa Grasso and Claudia Gadelha, and a heavyweight bout between former NFL player Greg Hardy and rising prospect Alexander Volkov.
Overall, UFC 246 promises to be an action-packed night of fights featuring some of the biggest names in MMA. With the return of McGregor and a stacked card full of exciting matchups, fans are sure to be in for a treat. Don't miss out on what could be one of the most memorable events in UFC history.
