Conor McGregor will be returning to action for the first time since suffering a submission loss to bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov in October of 2018.
In his most previous effort at UFC 205 in November of 2016, McGregor defeated Eddie Alvarez via second-round TKO to become the first-ever “champ champ” in promotional history.
Meanwhile, Donald Cerrone will also be looking to rebound when he takes to the Octagon at UFC 256. ‘Cowboy’ is coming off back-to-back stoppage losses to top-ranked contenders Justin Gaethje and Tony Ferguson in his two most recent UFC appearances.
Prior to those setbacks, Cerrone was coming off a dominant unanimous decision victory over Al Iaquinta at May’s UFC event in Ottawa, Canada.
Another big fight set for the January 18 event is a lightweight bout between former division titleholder Anthony Pettis and streaking contender Carlos Diego Ferreira.
Ferreira will enter UFC 256 on a five-fight win streak, his latest being a decision victory over the previously undefeated Mairbek Taisumov.
As for Anthony Pettis, ‘Showtime’ is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Nate Diaz in a welterweight bout at UFC 241. Prior to that, Pettis had scored a sensational knockout victory over former welterweight title challenger Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson.
