UFC 196 – McGregor vs. Diaz
Originally, the UFC announced this event would feature a UFC Heavyweight Championship rematch between champion Fabrício Werdum and former champion Cain Velasquez in Brazil. Due to a series of injuries, the original match-up for UFC 197, a UFC Lightweight Championship bout between champion Rafael dos Anjos and UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor, was moved to UFC 196. But, even that wouldn’t happen as planned because dos Anjos broke his foot!
So, now we have an even more intriging match-up as former lightweight title challenger Nate Diaz was announced as the replacement and the bout will take place in the welterweight division. What will happen? With Nate Diaz, you never really know, but these are two of the toughest men in the UFC so it will not be a boring fight, that is a fact.
