Conor last fought Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in a welterweight bout earlier this year, where “The Notorious” made quick work of the highly experienced ‘Cowboy‘. The aftermath saw Conor hinting at a third retirement, which he eventually did on the 6th of June, 2020. Dustin, on the other hand, is coming off a victory over Dan Hooker and will be looking forward to continuing the winning momentum.
