McGregor regains belt on new UFC 196 poster
What Conor McGregor wants, Conor McGregor gets.
During the first press conference for UFC 196, the featherweight champion was livid when he saw the initial offering from the company's marketing department, specifically in regards to his missing gold.
A new trailer and poster for the event were released Wednesday, and while the 145-pound belt is absent from the video, McGregor can take solace in the fact his status as the ruler of the featherweight division is visible to all on the Las Vegas Strip.

McGregor's title will not be on the line when he moves up to 155 pounds to face Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight championship in the main event of UFC 196. The card is co-headlined by a women's bantamweight championship match between Holly Holm and Miesha Tate.
