Dana White reveals plans to put Conor McGregor on the biggest card in UFC history

This will be HUGE if it happens

We’re excited at the very thought of this card…

You may have seen Ronda Rousey demolishing her latest opponent last night and if you haven’t, you really should watch it.

Rousey is among the biggest stars in the UFC, a real celebrity just like our own Conor McGregor who has shot to stardom over the last two or so years.

UFC President Dana White last night said that he wants his two biggest stars on the same card, preferably this year with the odds pointing to it being 100,000 seater AT & T stadium in Dallas, Texas.

White said of Rousey, “I’d like to put her on that card. That card is probably going to be in Dallas, Texas stadium. December (5) I hope so. We’re working on it.”

That would mean that Rousey’s next title defence, likely against Miesha Tate, would be on the same night as McGregor takes on Jose Aldo for the UFC featherweight title.

Rousey herself is keen on being on the card, saying: “I would like to be on the Aldo/McGregor card if possible. That would be really cool.”

Make it happen Dana!

Would you travel over to Texas to watch these fights? We know we would…
