UFC 205: Alvarez vs. McGregor is tonight’s mixed martial arts event promoted by the UFC being held on November 12, 2016 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York. This fight will be the first UFC event hosted in New York City, and will also be the first UFC event hosted in the State of New York after the longtime professional MMA ban was revoked in 2016.
The UFC worked tirelessly to surpass the law that forbade professional mixed martial arts events in the state, including a drastic measure: they announced an event for the Madison Square Garden, despite the ban still being in effect. However, it was announced that a preliminary injunction allowing the promotion to hold the event was denied by a federal judge. The event was eventually moved and contested in the promotion’s home base of Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event is is being headlined by UFC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Eddie Alvarez and current UFC Featherweight ChampionConor McGregor. This will be the second time in UFC history that champions in different divisions will fight for the same title. The other two championship fights will be a Welterweight Championship bout between current champion Tyron Woodley and 5-time kickboxing world champion Stephen Thompson, and a UFC Women’s Strawweight Championship bout between the current champion Joanna Jędrzejczyk and Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
In the lead up to tonight’s event, Connor McGregor has done what he usually does: make a spectacle. He showed up to a press conference late because he “just don’t give a f*ck”, and told Eddie Alvares to “suck his big Irish balls”. It goes without saying, tensions are running high. It appears as though McGregor is also trying to set up his next fight, as he’s had both a Twitter and face-to-face dispute with Tyron Woodley.
Many experts are calling UFC 205 the greatest fight card of all time, so make sure you find out how to live stream the action below!
