UFC confirmed today that featherweight world champion Conor McGregor will challenge lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos at UFC 197 from Las Vegas. McGregor will be looking to join BJ Penn and Randy Couture as the only fighters in UFC history to win belts in two divisions, and the first to hold those titles simultaneously.
In the co-main event, UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm will be challenged by Miesha Tate, confirming that Holm’s first title defense will not be against former champion Ronda Rousey.
Tickets for UFC 197 will go on sale next Friday, January 22.
