McGregor will be going up a weight class to challenge Rafael Dos Anjos for the Lightweight belt. He has made his intentions clear that he does not plan to relinquish the Featherweight belt to do so. No matter what happens on March 5th, McGregor has shown he will fight anytime and anywhere.

Quote: McGregor Is A Simpler Fight Than dos Anjos

Reigning UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos is slated to defend his title in the main event of March 5’s UFC 196 against brash and outspoken featherweight champion the “Notorious” Conor McGregor. The Irish challenger will look to become the first man in promotional history to hold two belts at one time, and if he

The Irish challenger will look to become the first man in promotional history to hold two belts at one time, and if he can topple the Brazilian champion, he intends to defend both titles actively.

Regarding the lightweight division, No. 1-ranked former Bellator champion Eddie Alvarez feels as if he’s next in line after the upcoming super fight.

While McGregor has been deemed the ‘Money Fight’, Alvarez actually has his sights set on dos Anjos, who he feels is the superior competitor:

“I would want McGregor because it’s more money and a simpler fight,” Alvarez said to Inside MMA. “He’s the easy guy and more money. Dos Anjos is a bigger challenge. To me, he’s the better fighter. In a perfect world, I’m fighting dos Anjos in June, or July, for the world title.”

Dos Anjos has indeed established himself as the man to beat at 155-pounds, running a demolition course through the division’s elite in recent memory.

However, McGregor isn’t just all talk either. He’s compiled a perfect 7-0 UFC record, and is coming off of a spectacular 13-second destruction of former long-time featherweight champion Jose Aldo.

Who do you see Alvarez eventually squaring off with for the title?

Donald Cerrone Responds To Conor McGregor & Internet Trolls

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor recently accused Donald Cerrone of quitting against Rafael dos Anjos, here’s his response….

UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor recently accused Donald Cerrone of quitting against Rafael dos Anjos, here’s his response….

Former UFC lightweight title contender Donald Cerrone returns in the main event of UFC Fight Night 83 tonight (Sunday February 21, 2016) as he faces fellow cowboy Alex Oliveira at welterweight. Cerrone makes his 170-pound debut against the Brazilian grappler with knockout power in an attempt to revive his career after a tough loss in his last lightweight fight.

Facing the 155-pound champion Rafael dos Anjos in December 2015, ‘Cowboy’ got dominated and finished by strikes in the first round. ‘RDA’ blasted Cerrone with a liver kick and a barrage of punches to finish the fight before it even got started, and a clearly disheartened Cerrone had his impressive eight fight win streak snapped.

Now lined up with a dangerous opponent in Oliveira, Cerrone must win big to remain in with a realistic chance at gaining a UFC title before retiring. One fighter that wasn’t very positive about ‘Cowboy’s’ last showing was his old rival and UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ accused Cerrone of being a quitter, and ‘Cowboy’ responded during a recent fan Q&A. Also check out how Cerrone responds to some trolls that had some harsh words for him:
Wow, it seems even the fans are taking the opportunity to kick the cowboy after the toughest loss in his career to date. Perhaps he was just caught cold against dos Anjos, or maybe it’s the old case of big fight chokes that Cerrone has admitted to suffering from in the past, either way his fans will hope to see an improved version of ‘Cowboy’ in the Octagon tonight, as he faces a tough test in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Do you think we’ll see Donald Cerrone in the welterweight title picture in the future?

Drama! Seven Huge Reasons Ronda Rousey Will Fail To Reclaim The Title

This week, the mixed martial arts (MMA) community was dealt the shocking revelation that former UFC women’s bantamweight Ronda Rousey actually considered suicide following her devastating knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 when the ultra-popular “Rowdy” revealed her formerly frail state in an emotional interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” There were understandably

There were understandably a mixed bag of reactions to the news, with some of her fans exhibiting compassion and understanding while others showed a cold and cruel lack of remorse in suggesting Rousey was only doing it for attention, and the MMA media justifiably wondered if she is truly ready to step back into the Octagon for the title rematch that is tentatively talked about for late this year.

Either way, it was tough for Rousey to find too much sympathy as a millionaire movie actress whether she has the belt or not, and prominent MMA figures like Holm and former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar spoke out to state that while they felt for Rousey, they didn’t necessarily feel that sorry for her.

It’s no doubt a shall we say, different, point of view from a once-dominant champion who, only four months ago was considered unstoppable and a candidate to retire undefeated as arguably the best fighter in UFC history. Now that that’s gone, however, all of the dynamics might suggest that Rousey won’t win the title again, and her mental state could certainly have a lot to do with that. Let’s take a look at the largest reasons why Rousey won’t regain her title.

Conor McGregor Confirms He Will Fight At UFC 200

As the biggest star in not only the UFC, but likely all of mixed martial arts, it’s been widely thought that reigning featherweight champion the “Notorious” Conor McGregor would fight at July’s landmark UFC 200 from Las Vegas, Nevada. However, after shockingly knocking out Jose Aldo at UFC 194, McGregor decided to move up in

However, after shockingly knocking out Jose Aldo at UFC 194, McGregor decided to move up in weight to face off with lightweight kingpin Rafael dos Anjos, attempting to become the first man to simultaneously hold two titles in promotional history.

McGregor will attempt to do this in just a few weeks at March 5’s UFC 196.

According to the brash and outspoken Irishman, who recently spoke with Severe MMA, he will apparently still be competing at UFC 200 before he hopes to once again fight in his home of Ireland:

“Vegas this one, Vegas next one probably because I committed to UFC 200, I did commit to that, then East coast or Dublin.” McGregor said.

With McGregor now confirming that he will compete in July, talk has shifted to just who would be a suitable opponent for the “Notorious” one.

Of course he could defend his 145-pound title, likely against top contender Frankie Edgar. Or perhaps he could put the lightweight strap on the line if he indeed takes out dos Anjos, which of course is no easy task.

But you know McGregor. The Irishman always likes to go big, and the rumors have begun to swirl regarding a possible move up to welterweight in search of a third world title.

According to the “Notorious” one, a move up to 170-pounds is a very realistic possibility, and a move he would be confident with:

“I’m coming for that belt, I’m coming for the next belt, I’m coming for the whole company.” McGregor said.

“Why not go up?”

“They get slower, and they get less free up there, they are stiffer, they are even more stuck than the lightweight division. So I’ll keep going, keep eating, keep training and keep going until all the belts are wrapped up.”

“I’m afraid of no one, I will go up and fight any weight.” McGregor continued. “Anyone can come down and step in that cage with me or any cage and see how they fare, but nobody fares well that’s for sure.”

Could you imagine McGregor vs. “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler for the welterweight title this summer?

The most anticipated event of the year is fast approaching as UFC 196 is set to take place on March 5, 2016 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada live on pay-per-view (PPV).

The main event will feature a sure super fight, as reigning featherweight champion the “Notorious” Conor McGregor is set to take on defending 155-pound title holder Rafael dos Anjos.

McGregor has rose to superstardom over the last few years since entering the promotion, winning all seven of his UFC bouts with an impressive six finishes. The Irishman is coming off of a shocking 13-second knockout of former long-time champion Jose Aldo last December.

Dos Anjos on the other hand, has run a demolition course through the lightweight division, establishing himself as a true champion. The Brazilian has compiled five straight victories including wins over former champions Benson Henderson and Anthony Pettis, and top contenders Nate Diaz and Donald Cerrone.

The excitement doesn’t end there, however, as a second title will be on the line in the co-main event of the evening.

Newly minted bantamweight champion Holly Holm will defend her title for the very first time when she meets former Strikeforce queen Miesha Tate.

“The Preacher’s Daughter”, a multi-time world boxing champion, is coming off of one of the biggest upsets in sport history when she knocked previously dominant champion Ronda Rousey out cold last November.

Tate has won four straight since losing to Rousey and is coming off of a victory over Jessica Eye last July.

Take a deeper look into the training camps of these four fighters with the UFC 196 Extended Preview below courtesy of the UFC:
