Fight fans knew that Irish featherweight star Conor McGregor was going to be entertaining during his UFC 183 pre-weigh-in Q&A at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Friday afternoon. What they didn’t expect was that they would get a fight announcement, but “The Notorious” one delivered, declaring that his challenge of featherweight champion Jose Aldo will take place on Saturday, July 11 as the main event of UFC 189.
“We have the fight date for McGregor-Aldo, the biggest fight of the year,” McGregor said. “Saturday, July 11th, International Fight Week, I’m gonna rip that Brazilian’s head off.”
