Conor McGregor’s manager Audie Attar spoke to South China Morning Post and revealed that the contract negotiations for his client’s proposed UFC 246 fight against Donald Cerrone are going well.
He stated that the communications have happened between all the involved parties and the fans should expect an announcement on it soon. However, he did add that it still a work in progress.
Conor McGregor hasn’t fought since his crushing loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in October 2018.
The Notorious One has since been in the news for all the wrong reasons for his run-ins with the law. The former UFC Double Champion did reveal recently that he would be back at UFC 246, which is scheduled to take place at the T-Mobile Arena on January 18th, 2020.
While the names of many potential opponents were thrown into the mix, Donald Cerrone came out as the frontrunner to welcome McGregor back inside the Octagon.
Cowboy is coming off two consecutive losses to Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje respectively, and considering his rousing popularity, a fight against McGregor is the perfect way to kick off the new year.
We now await an official confirmation.
