The UFC 246 PPV is a bit of a mixed bag. More than anything Conor McGregor’s presence is casting a wide shadow. In part, his 2019 has brought a series of legal troubles with it. And subsequently, it kind of feels like this main card is just a way for the UFC to try and lever one of their biggest stars back into the mainstream as an athlete, rather than a PR liability. Donald Cerrone is exactly the right amount of notable, dangerous, and great stylistic matchup to get McGregor a meaningful victory to start out the year. And the rest of the main card is largely built around the idea that fans are already showing up to watch McGregor, so what’s under him doesn’t have to be that meaningful. That said, the prelims are honestly pretty fun.
