On his return to the UFC, McGregor, who last retired with a 40-second win over American Donald Cerrone in January 2020, chose a class rival.

“I would like to have a drink with him, I am honored to face him. We are both competitors and it will be a super combat. But I have many weapons in my arsenal and I want to take them out to make a beautiful performance for all the fans of the world “, assured ‘The Notorious’ in the press conference that he offered on Thursday.
