The Irishman's comeback was marked by a quick knockout.

On the night of Saturday to Sunday in Las Vegas, Conor McGregor secured a quick victory over Donald Cerrone at UFC 246. It was the Irishman's first fight since losing to Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov.

After losing the UFC championship to the Russian in October 2018, McGregor announced his retirement, but nevertheless returned to the Octagon and dispatched the American without much trouble.

It is not out of the question that Conor will now seek a rematch with Khabib. UFC President Dana White has already spoken about the likelihood of such a scenario.

For the fight with Cerrone, the Irishman earned $3 million, while his opponent, who had lost his two previous fights, — only $200,000.
