Rumours of a fight between Donald Cerrone and Conor McGregor seem to get louder and louder by the day as both men and Dana White continue to hint that it's in the works. Judging by the potential buzz, you can see why both men are so keen to fight each other.

Say what you will about McGregor and his recent misfortunes, but he's still an exceptional athlete who is in the prime of his career, whereas Cerrone is more of a wily veteran these days whose mind is as quick as his kicks. Both of them are entertainers who will look to finish the fight given any opportunity and with both of their schedules seemingly lining up, this looks likely to be the big summer fight that gets everyone excited.
