Conor McGregor Challenged By Champion, UFC 189 Drug Tests, UFC Not Running Cowboys Stadium This Year

- UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos is the latest fighter to enter the Conor McGregor sweepstakes, saying that a fight with the interim Featherweight Champion would be "easy money."

"I would love if he comes to lightweight, it would be easy money to beat that guy up," dos Anjos said to media last week. "I'd be happy if he comes to lightweight, to welcome him to the division, even in Ireland. It's hard to say how the fight would be, but it would be aggressive, heavy hands, and he wouldn't handle it. "This guy has no chance. Aldo would destroy him. If Chad Mendes was in shape, he would have destroyed him."

"To show you that Tito Ortiz has no idea what he's talking about, we're not even doing the fight in Dallas, Texas," UFC president Dana White said. "The fight is going to be in Las Vegas at the MGM. Just to show you that Tito is absolutely talking out of his ass."
