It’s time to break out the red panties.
After all that humming and hawing, reportedly because of the Brazilian end, UFC have confirmed that Conor McGregor will fight Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight title at UFC 197. As expected, Holly Holm will defend her women’s bantamweight title in the co-main.
Boom! 👊🏽

Conor McGregor took to Facebook directly after the news broke and it will come as no surprise to anyone that he opted to confirm the news in a unique way. Perhaps the most memorable line in the post is the one in which he vows to decapitate his opponent.
“Mr. McGregor has said that Rafael is a traitor to his people and vows to “behead the ‘American Gringo’ Rafael Dos Anjos, in the name of La Brasilia!” Viva la Brasil!”
