Go behind the scenes of UFC 246 Conor McGregor vs Cowboy Cerrone with Embedded vlog series

This coming Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, former two-division champion Conor McGregor and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone will headline the UFC 246 main event with a welterweight bout. In other action bantamweights Holly Holm and Raquel Pennington are scheduled for a rematch after their date in 2019 was scuttled due to a Holm’s injury.

McGregor last won a match more than three years ago, and will be seeing his first action in over a year, but he remains the UFC’s biggest draw. A win would improve McGregor’s record to 18-4 and immediately have him back in the mix for a title bout.
