LEXINGTON, MA—The Ultimate Fighting Championship's event entitled UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz is one that has taken the sports world by storm in recent weeks.

UFC featherweight (145 lbs.) champion "The Notorious" Conor McGregor—who has fought at Boston's TD Garden twice including a main event bout in January 2015—will move up to the 170-pound welterweight division to take on fan-favorite Nate Diaz in the headliner.

In the co-headliner, UFC women's bantamweight champion Holly "The Preacher's Daughter" Holm—fresh off of her knockout upset over pop-culture icon and former champion Ronda Rousey—will take on former Strikeforce champion Miesha "Cupcake" Tate.
