2. Conor McGregor vs. Rafael dos Anjos
The first wish of the New Year was granted when it was announced that these two would meet in a champion-versus-champion super fight at UFC 197. The media frenzy and hype machine have not yet gotten off the ground, but they soon will. While McGregor has become the hottest commodity in the sport, dos Anjos has quietly destroyed everything in his path at 155 pounds. There seems to be no slowing down the Brazilian.
Some experts believe dos Anjos to be too big and well-rounded for the Irishman to handle, but McGregor carries the ultimate neutralizer in the form of his left hand. No matter the outcome, the dos Anjos-McGregor showdown seems certain to overflow with drama and excitement.
