UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos has pulled out of his UFC 196 title defense against Conor McGregor because of a foot injury. Now McGregor will move up two weight classes to take on Nate Diaz in a non-title fight in UFC 196. Surprisingly, Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar were offered to fight McGregor, but turned it down for whatever reason. Conor McGregor opened as a minus-280 favorite over Nate Diaz

This sets up Holm vs Rousey rematch for the #1 contender spot...

 

I like McGregor's comments the other day "I don't care about the size of my opponent, I only care about the size of my paycheck."

 

McGregor made somewhere around $10m after bonuses for this loss... The winner Diaz, made $500k with no bonuses.
