Latest UFC 196 fight card and rumors for 'McGregor vs Diaz' PPV on March 5 in Las Vegas

Fight fans will have to wait to get one of the craziest championship doubleheaders of the year because Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight champion, Rafael dos Anjos, broke his foot, scrapping a planned "Champion vs. Champion" showdown against Featherweight kingpin Conor McGregor. Have no fear, though, because Nate Diaz has stepped up on super short notice to battle "Notorious" in a 170-pound main event, which will still be joined by Holly Holm's first title defense against perennial contender Miesha Tate. Bananas!
