It’s almost time for some fights. Former two-division champion Conor McGregor is set to make his return to the Octagon on Saturday, Jan. 18, in the main event of UFC 246 when he takes on fan favorite Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. It will be just the second time McGregor has stepped foot inside the cage since 2016 after his sky rocketing rise to prominence within the organization.

The Irishman last fought in October 2018 when he lost via fourth-round submission to lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. That bout ended in an ugly post-fight melee between the two camps that saw McGregor suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for six months. Despite teasing a possible return in 2019, injuries delayed his comeback until Saturday.

Get ready for Saturday’s showdown in Las Vegas by listening to the State of Combat with Brian Campbell where we break down everything you need to know in the Octagon, including an in-depth preview of McGregor vs. Cerrone with Hall of Famer ‘Suga’ Rashad Evans.

Cerrone, meanwhile, has maintained his “anytime, anywhere, anybody” mentality, fighting seven times in the last two years. He enters on a two-fight losing streak, but while facing two of the elite in the lightweight division in Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje. Before that, “Cowboy” won three in a row against Mike Perry, Alexander Hernandez and Al Iaquinta.

This card also marks the return of some veteran fighters looking to make their presence felt in former champions Holly Holm and Anthony Pettis. Plus some names to know for the future like rising prospects Nasrat Haqparast, Sodiq Yusuff and Maycee Barber.

This event will also mark the return of UFC PPV prices to $64.99 from $59.99 and that price is expected to remain the same for the rest of 2020.
