According to reports the UFC is putting its 4th straight PPV card in Las Vegas. This one features two of the UFC’s biggest stars, Conor McGregor and Holly Holm.
BREAKING: Multiple sources confirm UFC will soon announce UFC 197 for March 5 in Vegas with Dos Anjos/McGregor and Holm/Tate.

The UFC is taking a huge gamble with Conor McGregor moving up a weight class to fight a very dangerous champion. Conor could get hurt and miss
UFC 200 but on the other hand he could capture another UFC title in another weight class and add to his lure.
The is taking a similar gamble with Holly Holm. She’d be fighting Tate for her title and a mega-rematch against Ronda Rousey at UFC 200 hangs in the balance.
The exact Las Vegas venue is still unknown.
I have conflicting reports at this point on whether it will be at MGM or Mandalay. Will update when I can.

Oddly enough I predicted this March fight card on today’s episode of The Corner Podcast.
