Dana White: If he wins at UFC 246, Conor McGregor will get next lightweight title shot

Conor McGregor will get what he’s been asking for with a win over Donald Cerrone, and that’s a chance at a rematch with Khabib Nurmagomedov.

McGregor makes his return to the Octagon for the first time since losing to Nurmagomedov in October 2018 this weekend against ‘Cowboy’ in the main event of UFC 246. Cerrone has lost his last two UFC fights, whilst McGregor is without a win in over three years.

Talking recently to Jim Rome, White once again confirmed McGregor will get a title shot he gets past Cerrone this weekend.

“He gets what he’s been waiting for,” White answered.
