I’m here for this.<\/p>\n“See, there’s a lot of glory in knocking someone out right away, but but there’s more glory for me in fighting and having to answer those questions in your mind,” Cerrone continued. “When you get wobbled and you get hurt and you step back and you have to bite down to keep going, that’s the f**king sickness that I have that I love. So if I could write it perfectly, it would be a hard-ass, drag it through the dirt fight.”<\/p>\n
Donald Cerrone will enter this UFC 246 fight coming off a pair of stoppage losses to top lightweight contenders Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson. Prior to that, he rattled off back-to-back wins over lightweight contenders Al Iaquinta and Alexander Hernandez, and a welterweight win over “Platinum” Mike Perry. He’s 36-13 in sum.<\/p>\n
Conor McGregor, on the other hand, has not fought since October of 2018, when he was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov in a bid to reclaim the UFC lightweight title. He’s 21-4 overall.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that both men have enjoyed their biggest wins at lightweight, the pair will meet in the welterweight division.<\/p>\n
