In the main event of UFC 246 on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena, McGregor laid waste to Cerrone in 40 seconds, delighting the standing-room only crowd with a brilliant performance.
LAS VEGAS — So much for the three-year winless streak. So much for the notion that he couldn’t compete with a welterweight. So much for the notion that Conor McGregor no longer had the desire to push himself to be the best.
McGregor kicked Cerrone in the head, dropping him with a thud. Once the best finisher in the sport, McGregor wasted no time to get on Cerrone and finish him. Referee Herb Dean pulled him off as Cerrone just turtled up to defend himself against the powerful blows. McGregor missed a huge left hand as the fight began. But he clinched with Cerrone in the center of the cage and belted him in the face twice with his shoulder, appearing to break Cerrone’s nose.“One hundred percent [it surprised me],” Cerrone said. “I’ve never seen anything like that.”
