Conor McGregor’s next UFC battle will take place on March 5th when the UFC Featherweight champion takes on Rafael Dos Anjos.
If McGregor is successful in the fight and defeats Dos Anjos in the UFC Lightweight Championship, he will be the first fighter in the UFC to simultaneously hold two belts in two divisions.
Previously UFC fighters BJ Penn and Randy Couture won two weight titles but didn’t hold them at the same time.
The fight takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and Holly Holm and Miesha Tate will compete for the woman’s bantamweight title on the same date.
