Sunday is a busy day in the Boston area. Not only are the New England Patriots aiming to return to the NFL’s Super Bowl for the 7th time in franchise history, but the UFC is in town running a Fight Night event on the same day! In the main event is Irish featherweight sensation Conor McGregor, who will earn a title shot if he can defeat Dennis Siver. Meanwhile, Donald Cerrone engages in his 2nd fight in as many weeks as he takes on Ben Henderson for a 3rd time. Henderson won both previous match-ups in the WEC.
But before we get to the fights, there’s the small matter of the weigh-ins. Hopefully nobody injures themselves on a treadmill prior to the weigh-ins, and everything goes smoothly. There will be a large Irish contingent making their way from Europe to cheer on McGregor, and you can follow our coverage on Saturday, January 17th at 4 PM ET/1 PM PT. Streaming video is available at the top of the page, while real-time updates can be found on our Twitter account (@BloodyElbow).
