McGregor set to take on 'The Little Axe' in Boston

The Dubliner has learned who he will face in his second UFC fight.

CONOR MCGREGOR’S OPPONENT for his second UFC fight has been announced.

The SBG featherweight, who grabbed the headlines by earning a debut victory with a TKO against Marcus Brimage after just 67 seconds, has known since April that he will feature in Boston on August 17 as UFC president Dana White had confirmed it.

McGregor (13-2) is sure to have a huge following at TD Garden and this evening it has been reported that he will face British fighter Andy Ogle (9-2). Nicknamed ‘The Little Axe’, the 24-year-old from Newcastle has one win and one loss from his two UFC bouts to-date.
