Many people thought that Conor McGregor I was going crazy when I said that would move up a category and face Diego Sanchez at UFC 180, which will be held on November 15 in Mexico City. However, the explanation came: Sanchez's original opponent for the event, Norman Parke, suffered an injury and will not be able to participate in the fight.
champion of TUF Smashes, Parke announced in his Twitter who tore the medial collateral ligament in his knee. He hopes to be able to compete again in January, setting UFC 182 as his target for his return.
Shortly afterwards, UFC president Dana White confirmed that the veteran Joe lauzon will be Parke's replacement. At 30 years old, “J-Lau” is known for putting on exciting fights and is coming off two straight victories over two former TUF champions, Mac Danzig and Michael chiesa.
The main fight of UFC 180 will be a heavyweight title fight between the champion, Cain Velazquez, and Fabricio Werdum.
