It’s another country versus country theme for Conor McGregor’s much-anticipated return.
The former two-division champ is backed by Irish tricolor for his UFC 246 headliner opposite perennial contender Donald Cerrone, who’s shadowed by an American star and stripes in a new poster released for the Jan. 18 pay-per-view event.
The Jan. 19 date reflects the event’s showtime overseas per the UFC Asia twitter account. McGregor vs. Cerrone is hosted by T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor makes his return after a submission loss to current UFC lightweight champ Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.
