UFC 246 Results: Conor McGregor Makes Quick Work Of Donald Cerrone

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor kicked off 2020 just like he wanted to, finishing Donald Cerrone in the first minute of their main event fight at UFC 246 Saturday night.

"Notorious," who had not earned a win inside the Octagon since 2016, landed with a head-kick and followed with several perfectly-placed shots that floored Cerrone. Referee Herb Dean stepped in just 40 seconds into the welterweight contest to wave it off.
