10 Incredible UFC Fights To Watch In January

Although 2020 was full of Conor McGregor headlines, we never got to see the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion actually step inside the Octagon. However, the controversial Irish man will be making his long-awaited return to the promotion at UFC 246 and the anticipation is palpable.

It's going to be extremely interesting to see how he performs after such a long lay-off. It's hard to imagine that he's somehow lost any power in that crushing left hand of his, but with such a long period between fights, we'd hope that he's added some more weapons to his already impressive arsenal.

He'll certainly need too against an opponent like Donald Cerrone. The longtime MMA veteran has fought nearly everyone there is to fight at 155lb and 170lb, so this match-up between McGregor is the cherry on top of a brilliant career.

We all know Cerrone for his brilliant striking, but he's also a criminally underrated grappler too. If he decides to take the fight to the floor then McGregor could be in a lot of trouble.
