Conor McGregor is being backed to return to the Octagon with a first round knockout this month ahead of his highly anticipated UFC 246 bout with Donald Cerrone.
That makes it the most likely round to see a McGregor victory despite coach John Kavanagh's prediction that the extra weight will see the bout being decided 'in the later rounds.' It’s a red-hot 1/5 shot that the fight does not go the distance.
His American opponent claimed this week that he is 'absolutely' a better mixed martial artist than the Notorious, but he is going into the clash as the 9/4 outsider on January 18th. McGregor is the 1/3 favourite on his first UFC appearance since his controversial defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2018.
It would be quite a statement if he could do it and it’s fair to say punters aren’t expecting any rustiness when he steps back into the Octagon.
