This is the UFC 246 live blog for Conor McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone, the welterweight headliner for Saturday’s fight card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

McGregor, a former two-division champ, returns to the Octagon for the first time since an October 2018 submission loss to current lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov. He faces perennial contender Donald Cerrone in a matchup set for this past summer before a hand injury delayed the Irish star’s comeback.
