As the UFC looks to find a replacement for dos Anjos, the field of possible contenders has been trimmed down

News broke this morning that Rafael dos Anjos was injured and out of his UFC 196 fight against Conor McGregor. Since the story came out, a bevy of Featherweight and Lightweight fighters have thrown their hats into the ring as possible replacements.

Donald Cerrone and Nate Diaz are seemingly the front runners in the McGregor sweepstakes. Both fighters have shared their opinions about the situation on social media.
