If the meeting between Rafael dos Anjos e Conor McGregor didn't happen in 2016, fans of the duo can be excited, because it could still be off the ground. When winning Paul felder No. UFC Las Vegas 14, an event held this Saturday (14), in the USA, the duel was once again considered, as the Brazilian challenged the Irish star both inside the octagon and at the press conference. And what seemed unlikely to happen can be accomplished.

Upon learning of the proposal, McGregor promptly used his social networks to speak out. The organization's former featherweight (65,8kg) and lightweight (70,3kg) champion not only agreed and showed interest, but also praised Dos Anjos' stance, which saved the event, along with Felder.
