McGregor returns

The last time Conor McGregor fought in Boston, he was on the undercard. The Dubliner returns to the TD Garden on Sunday and this time he is the center of attention. McGregor (16-2) will take on Dennis Siver of Germany, in the featherweight main event on the UFC card. McGregor last fought in Boston on Aug. 17, 2013 on the undercard of the Chael Sonnen/Mauricio Rua UFC Fight Night card, winning a unanimous decision against Max Halloway. Despite taking place on the same day as the AFC title game between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, the UFC promotion has sold approximately 14,000 tickets. – AP
