Following an injury to the UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael dos Anjos ahead of UFC 196, Nate Diaz has been picked as a replacement to step in and face Conor McGregor as the new main event on March 5 in Las Vegas.
Dos Anjos was forced out of the fight after suffering a broken foot last week in training, and as soon as news broke that he no longer was competing at UFC 196, a slew of potential opponents began jockeying to land the marquee spot against McGregor, but in the end, the UFC tapped Diaz.
