Following an injury to lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos ahead of UFC 196, Nate Diaz has been tapped as a replacement to step in and face Conor McGregor as the new main event on March 5 in Las Vegas.

UFC officials confirmed the new fight on Tuesday.

Dos Anjos was forced out of the fight after suffering a broken foot last week in training, and as soon as news broke that he was no longer competing at UFC 196, a slew of potential opponents began jockeying to land the marquee spot against McGregor.

Ultimately, Diaz ended up as the best choice, and now he'll get the chance to face McGregor at UFC 196 next weekend. The fight will take place at welterweight with Diaz accepting the fight on short notice and McGregor happily accepting the move to 170 pounds.

This is a bad match-up for a guy who doesn't move his feet and defends too many punches with his head.

Conor via brutal KO, round 1

Glad for Diaz to get paid. Good on Conor to take that fight, still walking the walk. Shit will get insane...

Does this still headline then? What about the womens title fight? this better be a five rounder.

It'll be a one-rounder.. lol. But it's main event worthy. Tate v Holm can't carry top billing just because Tate can't carry it. Diaz can though.

I love diaz but really feel this is a terrible matchup for him. No way Connor doesn't brutalize him with kicks.

Non-title 170 lb. match featuring a 145 lb.er gets top billing over a women's title match. What a kick in the ovaries.

Awesome, favor Conor but never underestimate a Diaz that doesn't have to worry about takedowns.
