At UFC 205, Conor McGregor will look to make UFC history once again as he steps into the Octagon to fight UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez on November 12th. Should McGregor emerge from ‘The Empire State’ victorious, he will not only become just the third man in UFC history to become a two-division world champion, but also the first man in the history of the UFC to hold two championship belts simultaneously. Ahead of the fight, there has been some controversy surrounding the fact that McGregor was able to keep the featherweight championship for the fight, and didn’t have to vacate the belt prior to the scrap like UFC President Dana White initially stated. When fans and fighters began to complain that McGregor was able to keep the featherweight strap, White mysteriously explained that McGregor has a “personal” announcement to make “out of left field” following the fight, which is why he was given this opportunity.

One week later, in the main event of UFC 205, Irish superstar Conor McGregor will challenge Eddie Alvarez for that UFC lightweight title. This latter bout is the far more talked about of the two. This, of course, is because McGregor is the most popular fighter in the sport.
