Conor McGregor Blitzes Donald Cerrone – UFC 246 Highlights

Conor McGregor enjoyed an emphatic return to the Octagon.

Facing Donald Cerrone in the UFC 246 headliner on Saturday night, McGregor was aggressive from the get-go as he busted Cerrone’s nose with some shoulder strikes as they clinched up.

The Irishman would then land a head kick that wobbled Cerrone as he looked for the finish. Referee Herb Dean gave a downed Cerrone every chance to fight back but in the end, McGregor’s onslaught was too much as he finished the fight in just 40 seconds.
