A PRE-PADDY'S PARTY IN VEGAS!
Reports today suggest that The Notorious will face lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UGC 197 in Las Vegas on March 5th. The card is expected to feature only the second champion-versus-champion bout in UFC history as McGregor moves up from featherweight to challenge for the 155-pound title when he meets dos Anjos.
It will be less than 4 months after McGregor took 13 seconds to defeat Jose Aldo at the MGM in December. In addition to McGregor vs. dos Anjos, UFC 197 is also expected to feature women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm in her first title defense against Miesha Tate.(via FoxSports) Ms Holm is no stranger to Irish fans!
