Now it is official. We have been informed recently about McGregor’s new opponent at the UFC 205. But that is not all. Alvarez is currently a lightweight champion who will put his title on the line. If McGregor manage to win, he will set the history in the UFC. he will be the fighter with 2 titles. He will of course hold two titles in two different weight classes at the same time.
This will be the headline of the UFC 205 at the Madison Square Garden, NY. Fist to fist will be extraordinarily presented at the venue since it is also presenting extraordinary titles fight. As confirmed by Dana White, the president of UFC at the Sports Center of ESPN, the title of Alvarez’ will be the one to put on the line. Less pressure, McGregor will tempt to steal the title from Alvarez.
Actually, the bout of McGregor should be one which Rafael Dos Anjos as the opponent at the 155 lbs weight level. But, the Brazilian fighter had been withdrawn because of circumstances.
For Alvarez, in the other side, it is going to be his very first title defense, after winning over Dos Anjos last july in only one round.
The next bout involving Alvarez and McGregor will also feature two more titles:
- Welterweight title as the co-main event, involving Tyron Woodley and Stephen Thompson
- And Strawweight strap, involving Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
McGregor is the current featherweight champion. But rest assured that he will not put his title on the line. If he make it, he will be joining two others as the only fighters in the UFC history to grant titles in different weight classes besides Randy Couture and BJ Penn. McGregor has the chance to keep his featherweight title through UFC 205, which means he leverages his chance to become the first fighter ever to hold the belts at the same time.
It is a fight that the fans deserve to watch it. Besides, McGregor actually got the chance to do this at the UFC 196 in March 2016. But unfortunately, Rafael Dos Anjos was pulled out due to injury just 2 weeks before the bout began. Instead, Nate Diaz came in the rush hour as the respective replacement.
Eddie Alvarez will defend his title. It is his first title defense that should make it clear that it is not going to be an easy pass for McGregor. So, what will happen?
