UFC 196: Rafael dos Anjos out of Conor McGregor fight

It's deja vu for Conor McGregor as Rafael dos Anjos has reportedly pulled out of their highly-anticipated 5 March fight through injury.

Last year featherweight champion Jose Aldo was forced to withdraw from his title fight against the Irishman at UFC 189, with Chad Mendes being drafted in 11 days before the July event.

McGregor won and later fought and beat Aldo in sensational style at UFC 194 in December, finishing him off in 13 seconds.

And he was set to move up to lightweight to face Dos Anjos in an attempt to become the first person in the organisation's history to hold two belts in different weight divisions at the same time.

However, there are numerous reports the Brazilian has broken his foot with less than two weeks to go before the Las Vegas showdown.

Also on the card is Holly Holm and Miesha Tate's bantamweight title fight.
