The date sneaks ever closer and we cannot wait…
Conor McGregor will face lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight belt on March 5th, in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
It will McGregor’s first fight at lightweight in the UFC, having claimed the featherweight title from Jose Aldo back in December, do yourself a favour and relive that moment here.
It will surely be the Crumlin man’s toughest test to date with dos Anjos defeating both Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis in the last 12 months.
It should be an enthralling encounter and it’ll be fascinating to see how the Brazilian’s high pressure style works on a skilled counter puncher like McGregor.
Roll on UFC 196…
