Conor McGregor is back. On Saturday he will square off against Cowboy Donald Cerrone in the main event of UFC 246. The fight will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will be the first time McGregor has competed in a UFC fight since September 2018 when he lost to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. But going into the match, McGregor knows he's going to be in for a battle.

"It's hard not to respect Donald right now at this stage," McGregor said via ESPN. "He has my respect. And although there will be blood spilled on Jan. 18, it will not be bad blood. And for the Mystic Mac prediction, it will be a KO."

If McGregor is able to beat Cerrone on Saturday, it's likely he will get a shot at winning a championship. He is the former lightweight and featherweight champion, but Saturday's match is at welterweight.

Here's a look at some of the photos McGregor has shared on Instagram before the big fight.
