Conor McGregor will make his much-anticipated return to the octagon when he fights Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone at UFC 246 in Las Vegas this weekend. It is the first time the Irishman has fought professionally since his controversial fourth-round defeat by Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018. Despite the welterweight bout being a non-title fight, it is set to break pay-per-view figures, with 31-year-old McGregor saying he will earn a record £80m. Cowboy holds the record for most wins (23), finishes (16) and post-fight bonuses (18) in UFC history. Like McGregor, Cerrone is coming into the fight off the back of a defeat - he was stopped by compatriot Justin Gaethje in September.
