LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Conor McGregor[/autotag] and [autotag]Donald Cerrone[/autotag] went face-to-face for the first time ahead of UFC 246 at Wednesday’s pre-fight press conference.
After answering questions from the media in front of a packed crowd at The Palms, McGregor (21-4 MMA, 9-2 UFC) and Cerrone (36-13 MMA, 23-10 UFC) had a traditional staredown, which was as cordial as two fights who are going attempt to knock one another’s heads off can possibly be.
Check out the polite staredown from Vegas below:
