Conor McGregor Set To Fight Donald Cerrone In January 2020

A post-fight melee — that included Nurmagomedov jumping the Octagon cage to attack McGregor’s teammate Dillon Danis and Nurmagomedov teammates sucker punching McGregor in the Octagon — resulted in lengthy suspensions for both parties, per source.

McGregor has fought just once in the Octagon since 2016, and twice at 170 pounds, splitting with Nate Diaz a submission loss and a majority decision win.

The Irishman has also had a few setbacks, including a pair of arrests for punching a bar patron in Ireland and smashing a fan’s cellphone outside a club in Miami, per source.
