The cancellation of Fabricio Werdum vs. Cain Velasquez prompted a major shake-up of the UFC's numbering system and resulted in UFC 197 being renamed UFC 196 (while UFC 196 became Fight Night 82). Regardless, the card remains a must-see affair topped by two huge title fights in Rafael dos Anjos vs. Conor McGregor for the UFC lightweight title and Holly Holm vs. Miesha Tate.
The full lineup of announced fights is as follows:
- Rafael dos Anjos vs Conor McGregor
- Holly Holm vs. Miesha Tate
- Corey Anderson vs. Tom Lawlor
- Erick Silva vs. Nordine Taleb
- Darren Elkins vs. Chas Skelly
- Diego Sanchez vs. Jim Miller
- Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko
- Justin Salas vs. Jason Saggo
- Ilir Latifi vs. Gian Villante
- Vitor Miranda vs. Marcelo Guimaraes
There are a number of interesting matchups, and with less than a month to go before this event, it's worth taking a good look at the card.
