McGregor, dos Anjos, Holm and Tate take center stage at UFC 197 press conference

Published Jan. 20, 2016 1:51 p.m. ET

UFC champions Conor McGregor, Holly Holm and Rafael dos Anjos, as well as women's bantamweight contender Miesha Tate, cross paths for the first time before their championship bouts at UFC 197 during Wednesday's pre-fight press conference.

McGregor, who is coming off a 13-second victory over Jose Aldo at UFC 194 in December, will make the move up to lightweight to face current champion dos Anjos in an attempt to become the UFC's first simultaneous two-division champion. Dos Anjos will be a tough test, however, as the Brazilian made his first title defense in dominant fashion against then-streaking lightweight Donald Cerrone at UFC Orlando. 

Holm shocked the world when she defeated Ronda Rousey in November and looks to keep momentum going against two-time title challenger Tate in the co-main event of UFC 197.
