In the days leading up to UFC 196, commentator Jon Anik stated that if Nate Diaz was able to upset Conor McGregor on such short-notice that he would get a “209” tattoo. Well, as we all know by now, Nate Diaz was able to pull-off the epic victory yesterday evening in Las Vegas, submitting McGregor in the second-round of their main event fight.

UFC president Dana White spoke to ESPN’s “SportsCenter” following yesterday’s UFC 196 event in Las Vegas and revealed that Ronda Rousey will likely be next up for new women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate, his words: “I think that Ronda will now fight Miesha Tate for the title. That’s what’s going to happen. That’s what I said before this fight even happened. I texted Ronda, and Ronda wasn’t even watching the fight. I texted Ronda and she said ‘What happened?’. I said, ‘Miesha just choked her unconscious.’ And she said, ‘Well, it looks like I got to get back to work.’ I don’t know what that means, if that means acting or fighting. She’s not scheduled to come back until October or November, but that doesn’t mean I can’t ask. I can ask. Ronda Rousey has worked very hard for three-and-a-half years in this company and believe me, she did anything that was asked of her and went above and beyond the call of duty. If she wants to stay out until October, she can do that.”

At last night’s UFC 196 post-fight press conference Conor McGregor was asked who he would like to fight next following his submission loss to Nate Diaz. The Irish superstar acknowledged that his next fight would most likely be a featherweight title defense:

I stormed in and put it all on the line. I took a shot and missed. I will never apologize for taking a shot. Shit happens. I’ll take this loss like a man. I will not shy away from it. I will not change who I am. If another champion goes up 2 weights let me know. If your tired of me talking money, take a nap. I’ll still be here when you wake up with the highest PPV and the gate. Still talking multi 7’s. Thank you to the true support and fuck the hate that came out of the woodwork. I love it all. Its still steak for breakfast. I’ve been here many times in my life in some form or another. I’ll eat it all and come back stronger. Aldo you are a pussy. Dos anjos you are a pussy. When the history books are written, I showed up. You showed up on Twitter. To the fans! Never ever shy away from challenges. Never run from adversity. Face yourself head on. Nate I will see you again.
