Last week, Conor McGregor’s return was announced when a fight with Donald Cerrone was made official for the main event of UFC 246. Since then, there has been a lot of talk about the fight, what it means for both fighters, and where both men go from here, but there’s been even more speculation about the weight the fight is being contested at.
Though McGregor and Cerrone have most recently competed at the lightweight limit of 155 pounds, and both men seem to be best suited for the lightweight division, their fight at UFC 246 will be contested as a welterweight bout.
