Violent knockout artist, Conor McGregor, is set to scrap with two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) title challenger, Chad Mendes, for the interim belt this Saturday (July 11, 2015) inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
McGregor's rise to the top has been nothing short of meteoric. In just a couple years, he's gone from a complete unknown to perhaps UFC's biggest star. A big part of that upswing was thanks to his beef with long-time Featherweight kingpin, Jose Aldo, which was set to be the most high-profile headliner of the year.
Luckily, Chad Mendes was willing to step in on short-notice for an Interim title.
