UFC president Dana White said MGM Resorts officials "moved Heaven and Earth" to allow the company to put the featherweight title unification bout between champion Jose Aldo and interim champion Conor McGregor at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on Dec. 12.

White said that the women's bantamweight title bout between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate has not been scheduled but will not be on the Aldo-McGregor card.

White had spoken several times about putting the two fights on the same card at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Originally, Dec. 5 was targeted for that date because the MGM had an Andrea Bocelli concert and wanted to put the UFC show at the much smaller Mandalay Bay across the street.

But White told Yahoo Sports that he wanted a bigger venue than the approximately 11,000-seat Mandalay Bay Events Center. He was in talks with Cowboys' officials about putting the fight at AT&T Stadium and said that on Thursday, "if you would have asked me, I would have told you for sure we were going to Dallas Cowboys Stadium."

McGregor could win this too though. I'm really looking forward to this.
 
Not surprised to see it so close

Aldo ftw
 
mcgregor

2d round tko early stoppage
 
Man....I thought they were gonna do this and I'm super excited.

BUT! I was considering buying tickets for this, but who knows if the fight will actually happen this time. Risky decision.
 
Just gotta go with Aldo here.
 
I wish we could see who voted for who. That's 90 percent of the fun with polls.
 
I had strong suspicions it would never come to fruition. Hopefully one day.

Aldo injured, McGregor vs Frankie for the belt in MGM
 
I can see the fight go either way, but if I have to choose I'll have to go with Aldo on this one.
 
How many time with the UFC promise me a Dallas card and then slap me in the face for believing them?

Dana F'ing White, indeed.
 
I guess he is saving Ronda for the Dallas card by the sounds of it.
 
Dude pays for a plat account yet doesn't add a poll. Rookies.

Aldo via submission

I won't believe them until tickets go on sale.

They just use the threat of cowboy stadium to get higher venue fees from the casinos. The reason why most fights happen in Vegas is because the casinos will pay to have a fight there. Other venues the UFC has to pay for.
