Irish MMA star Conor McGregor is all set to fight Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC 246. The fight will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on January 18.
This will be Conor McGregor’s first fight in fifteen months and he is the heavy favourite going into this fight.
Despite what the betting odds suggest, many fans believe that Cowboy has an upper hand in the fight because of his superior grappling abilities. McGregor’s last win inside the Octagon came against Eddie Alvarez, more than three years ago at UFC 205. The Irishmen since hasn’t won a fight. On the other hand, When Cerrone steps inside the cage at UFC 246, he would have fought five times in a year.
However, former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till isn’t worried about McGregor’s activity. He recently took to social media and expressed his excitement ahead of the showdown between McGregor and Cerrone at UFC 246.
“Both are right up for this, Cowboy’s camp have more to be concerned with than just Conor’s left hand though,” Till wrote. “As a southpaw, it’s not the left hand. It’s the set-ups from the left hand, the spinning kicks, the feints, angles, etc. It all draws you onto the left hand.”
“I’ve got Conor first-round TKO, feel like the occasion may just be too much for Cowboy,” Till wrote. “But that’s just my opinion, Cowboy’s been around a lot longer than me and knows a hell of a lot more.” (H/T – MMA Fighting)

I cannot f*cking wait for Conor x Cowboy next week.
Feels like the old Conor is back.
Both are right up for this, Cowboy’s camp have more to be concerned with than just Conor’s left hand though.
As a southpaw, it’s not the left hand.
It’s the set-ups from the left hand, the spinning kicks, the feints, angles, etc.
It all draws you onto the left hand.
Also that’s just not what he brings!
You don’t beat who he beat by just having a left hand.
If I would have taken my own advice above against Masvidal rather than just coming out to try and steamroll him. But he done me fair and good!
Anyway, let’s see a f*cking tear-up next week!
I’ve got Conor first-round TKO, feel like the occasion may just be too much for Cowboy! But that’s just my opinion, Cowboy’s been around a long longer than me and knows a hell of a lot more.
Do you guys agree with Darren Till’s prediction?
