The UFC will kick off 2020 with the long-awaited return of arguably its most bankable fighter.
UFC 246 takes place Jan. 18 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
The main event features a welterweight bout between former dual-division champion Conor McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) and former lightweight title challenger Donald Cerrone (36-13 MMA, 23-10 UFC).
In the co-main event, former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm (12-5 MMA, 5-5 UFC) will take on Raquel Pennington (10-7 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in a rematch from a 2015 bout in which Holm edged out Pennington in her UFC debut. The rematch originally was scheduled to take place at UFC 243 in October, but Holm was forced out due to a hamstring injury.
Also on the card is former UFC lightweight champ Anthony Pettis, Dana White’s Contender Series standouts Maycee Barber and Sodiq Yusuff, and more.
