Eddie Alvarez to defend lightweight belt vs. Conor McGregor at UFC 205 in New York.
http://mmajunkie.com/2016/09/conor-m...-205-headliner
One of the most monumental fight cards in UFC history will have a monumental main event. UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor will attempt to add lightweight gold to his collection when he challenges Eddie Alvarez in the UFC 205 headliner, which marks the organization’s return to New York after more than 21 years.
UFC officials tonight confirmed the matchup. Twitter user @TalkMMA was first to report the news.
UFC 205 takes place Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Alvarez (28-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) vs. McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) marks the third championship fight slated for the UFC 205 lineup. Welterweight titleholder Tyron Woodley meets Stephen Thompson, and strawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk faces Polish countrymate Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
Immediately after capturing the 155-pound strap with a first-round TKO of Rafael dos Anjos at UFC Fight Night 90 in December, Alvarez, No. 1 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA lightweight rankings, set his sights on “The Notorious,” calling him a “gimme fight” after starting his UFC tenure with consecutive matchups against dos Anjos, Anthony Pettis, Gilbert Melendez and Donald Cerrone.
“This guy (dos Anjos) to the right of me, is the best in the division,” Alvarez said at UFC Fight Night 90’s post-fight news conference. “To be able to come out with a win over him and before him was (Anthony) Pettis, before him was Gilbert (Melendez), these are the best guys in the division. I’m not taking on top-15 guys. I would ask Dana White please to give me an easier fight like Conor McGregor. I deserve that. I’ve been fighting the best guys. I would like a gimme fight. So, Conor? I more than welcome that.”
It was unknown if Alvarez would get his wish, particularly because the promotion recently stated he would likely put his belt on the line against No. 2-ranked Khabib Nurmagomedov at December’s UFC 206 event in Toronto. That obviously didn’t come to fruition, however, and Nurmagomedov expressed his frustration on social media (via Twitter).

Never been to madison square garden.
Have only been to NYC once when i was younger.
The 1st thing i would do would be to cross the road and shout at the cars "Hey Hey I'm walking here, You bustin my balls here" in a Yankee accent
