Irish MMA sensation Conor McGregor needed just 40 seconds to overcome Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in his latest MMA fight at welterweight level. It was a remarkable return to the Octagon for McGregor, who looked in tremendous shape and was ready to fight rather than milk the crowds. His pre-fight training camp was clearly intense and innovative, equipping McGregor with new moves in the clinch that helped to put Cerrone on the back foot from the word go. The fight demonstrated his raw talent rather than his marketable brand.
