UFC: Dana White uncertain about Conor McGregor-Donald Cerrone fight

Conor McGregor has been in news since past few weeks for his much-awaited UFC return. McGregor has been inactive since his humiliating loss against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 but a few weeks ago, the Irishman confirmed that he is going to return on January 18 but he did not take any names for his opponent. McGregor was eyeing to fight the winner off the BMF belt or the winner of Khabib vs Tony fight. However, it is Donald Cerrone’s name that seems to have really caught the former double champion’s attention. Conor McGregor showed his urge to fight ‘The Cowboy’ on his return and the UFC fans were very approving of it. UFC President Dana White has also liked the idea according to American media reports. However, will the fight really happen?
