The Ultimate Fighting Championship’s featherweight champion is moving up to lightweight to take on the belt holder in that weight division – Rafael dos Anjos.

MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas will host the superfight on 5th March, as the Irishman looks to become a two-weight champion.

His previous victory, a lightning quick knockout of the previous dominant force in the featherweight division, Jose Aldo, catapulted McGregor even further into the sporting limelight.
