Ben Askren predicts ‘second round TKO’ for Conor McGregor at UFC 246

We’re just a few hours away from UFC 246 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where Conor McGregor will make his long awaited return to the cage against Donald Cerrone in the main event.

Some fighters have picked ‘Cowboy’ for the upset, with former UFC title challenger turned ESPN analyst Chael Sonnen claiming Cerrone will have the advantage over McGregor at 170. But former ONE FC and Bellator welterweight champ Ben Askren, who retired after his submission loss to Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night 162, believes ‘The Notorious’ will return to the UFC in top form and TKO Cerrone in the second round.
