“It would be awesome if I could face Miesha Tate on the same card as Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor”.

The UFC missed out on one of its biggest fights in recent memory after featherweight champion Aldo was forced to pull out of UFC 189 and his fight with interim title holder Conor McGregor due to injury.
“They want us. We want to be there”, White has said of the Cowboys’ home.
Manny Pacquiao has fought twice at the Cowboys Stadium, beating Joshua Clottey in 2010 and going through Antonio Margarito in the same year. “It’s now just time to wait for UFC to set the fight”.
With Aldo’s absence, McGregor went on to win the interim title against Chad Mendes.
So nothing is official yet, but a combo Aldo-McGregor plus Rousey-Tate 3 megacard is possible – and it would be the hottest ticket of the year. Dallas’ AT&T Stadium has long been discussed to hold a UFC fight, but the proper matchup has never been in place. He said his strategy was set prior to the injury and only minor adjustments will be made when he’s finally locked inside the octagon with “The Notorious“.
The Brazilian said McGregor’s victory over Mendes changed nothing about his approach to the fight.
‘We’re looking to get that fight for Dallas Cowboys Stadium. “When we’re in the octagon I will beat him”.
“I would like to be on the Aldo-McGregor card if possible”, Rousey told FOX Sports 1 after her win.

“We had nothing with the UFC, but with (Sonnen’s) statements”, Aldo said on Saturday night.
