Just one day after Rafael dos Anjos vs. Conor McGregor is confirmed, this awesome UFC 197 promo is going viral…
Conor McGregor has been on fire since joining the UFC in 2013, with his brash outspoken nature and fight finishing abilities, he’s truly become a household name in the world of mixed martial arts in just over two years.
His success peaked at UFC 194, as he finally got the fight he’d been asking for since day one. Facing the pound-for-pound king Jose Aldo in Las Vegas, Nevada, ‘The Notorious’ fulfilled his own prediction by knocking ‘Scarface’ out in the opening exchange.
The knockout marked the seventh consecutive victory for McGregor under the UFC banner, with only one coming by way of decision. Instantly the talk of the next contender at 145 pounds began, but not for long.
Frankie Edgar will be made to wait for the title fight against McGregor, as it was confirmed yesterday that ‘The Notorious’ will move up to lightweight to face Rafael dos Anjos. Whether fans or ‘The Answer’ agree or not, McGregor’s trip to 155 pounds is happening.
Joining them on the March 5th supercard will be women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm, as she faces number one contender (outside of Rousey) Miesha Tate.
Already there’s a McGregor vs RDA promo video that’s gone viral overnight.
