Conor McGregor and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone Make Weight For UFC 246

Conor McGregor and Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone easily made weight on Friday to qualify for UFC 246's main event.

Both McGregor and Cerrone clocked in at 170 pounds.

This is McGregor's first fight since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018's notorious UFC 229, which saw Nurmagomedov beat McGregor into submission for the victory. Nurmagomedov subsequently jumped out of the cage and charged at McGregor's training partner. McGregor (21-4) also hopped on top of the cage to join the melee.

Since then, McGregor has been embroiled in a series of controversies. He was arrested in March for taking a tourist's cell phone and smashing it into the ground.
