With only a little bit over 1 week left to go before UFC 196, Conor McGregor has a new opponent. That man will be Nate Diaz. As reported earlier Rafael Dos Anjos who was scheduled to fight McGregor broke his foot while training and was forced to withdraw from the event. Now Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz will face off on March 5th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Don Anjos shared a picture (below) of his injured foot while also apologizing to the fans for pulling out of the fight.
