McGregor & Holm Booked In Title Fights For UFC 197

Bleacher Report is reporting that UFC Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor got his wish and will be fighting UFC Lightweight Champion Rafeal dos Anjos in a huge champion VS champion fight at UFC 197 on March 5 in Las Vegas. McGregor stated that he wanted to become a two-division champion and actively defend both championships.
