The UFC have wasted no time in releasing a promo for McGregor versus Mendes

There’s a new headliner for next week’s Las Vegas card.

IT’S CHAD MENDES instead of Jose Aldo for Conor McGregor on 11 July, but there’s still a UFC belt on the line.

Aldo officially pulled out this morning due to a rib injury, so Mendes will fight McGregor instead for the interim featherweight title.

The UFC have been quick to release an updated promo video for the event, which takes place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and will also feature a welterweight title bout between Rory MacDonald and Robbie Lawler.
