Audiences will have to wait until Saturday night to see Conor McGregor and Donald Cerrone square off at UFC 246.
What they won’t have to wait for, however, is the pay-per-view’s video opening.
UFC president Dana White decided to released the promo more than 48 hours ahead of the main card’s scheduled start time – and for good reason.
Featuring “Wanted Dead or Alive,” arguably the most popular song in the career of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Bon Jovi, and narrated by Ron Perlman of “Sons of Anarchy” fame, the montage shows clips of the main event participants’ finest work inside the cage.
If you’re a living, breathing human being, it’s likely this promo will get the adrenaline pumping. You’re not already excited for UFC 246’s face-punching festivities? Well, this very well could do the trick.
