The Notorious has gotten his wish.
Say goodbye to Rafael dos Anjos taking centre stage on the poster for the upcoming UFC lightweight title fight on March 5.
The featherweight champion was not happy with that effort. Speaking at the pre-sale press conference, the featherweight champion expressed his dislike of the poster.
“That’s what I just noticed. Where is my damn belt?”
“This is a superfight. I look up at that poster, I see myself tucked in the back there. I see a guy whose last gate was 1.7 million. He (Rafael dos Anjos) fought on free TV. He’s never brought a dime to the company. He’s never made a dime yet he is sitting there on the front of my poster.”
Well, McGregor will be a happy man now as the new poster sees both fighters in the main event sharing the spotlight with co-headliners Holly Holm and Miesha Tate also getting some poster-space.
The poster people got the memo from .@TheNotoriousMMA – new poster complete with belts & champion vs champion on it. pic.twitter.com/PkRghryd2r
