SPORT: MCGREGOR’S NEW OPPONENT CONFIRMED FOR UFC 196
Nate Diaz has been confirmed as Conor McGregor’s opponent for UFC 196 on March 5th following Rafael Doe Anjos’s withdrawal.
The replacement opponent was confirmed by UFC chief Dana White last night who says McGregor has agreed to fight Diaz at Welterweight in a non title bout.
Dos Anjos’ withdrawal means the Dubliner has been denied the chance to add the lightweight title to his Featherweight crown.
