UFC194: Aldo vs Mcgregor

[Lackin]

The highly anticipated featherweight unification bout between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor is finally set for UFC 194 on Dec. 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

UFC president Dana White confirmed the news on Monday in an interview with Yahoo! Sports.

According to White, the promotion explored the option to put the fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas after the MGM was not available on the proposed date of Dec. 5 thanks to a previously scheduled Andrea Bocelli concert.

Officials at the MGM Grand "moved heaven and Earth" according to White to make sure the arena was available for Dec. 12 so the UFC opted to put the Aldo vs. McGregor fight there instead.

The other benefit moving the fight to Dec. 12 is UFC 194 won't go head-to-head with any other major sports events happening that day.

With Aldo vs. McGregor now set for Dec. 12 in Las Vegas, that means the other fight rumored for the same card — a women's bantamweight title fight between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate — will shift to a different show likely in early 2016.

Will he even turn up? :21-1:2:

People are really overlooking Aldo, it's pretty funny. Connor has power sure but has gaps in his game, Aldo is a great for a reason.
