And after his spectacular victory, one which got the UFC’s 2020 campaign off to a big start, any fight with his name attached to it – whether it’s against Khabib Nurmagomedov, Jorge Masvidal, Kamaru Usman, Nate Diaz, Justin Gaethje or Tony Ferguson – is a mega-event. Just the way the Dubliner likes it.
