White: McGregor was right about champion vs. champion poster change

"We're not here to take part, we're here to take over," Conor McGregor announced after his first round TKO of Diego Brandao at UFC Dublin. And, so far, it seems as though the Irishman may be calling some of the shots in the UFC.

"The Notorious" demanded a shot at the lightweight championship after capturing the featherweight title in record-setting time -- 13 seconds -- at UFC 194. The UFC obliged and booked McGregor against LW champ Rafael dos Anjos for March 5th, leaving #1 FW contender Frankie Edgar sitting on the sidelines.
