UFC 196's championship superfight was scrapped on Tuesday after UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos announced he had broken his foot and would be unable to square off with UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor.
The search is still underway for a new opponent for McGregor, who was expected to clash with dos Anjos in the main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Many competitors have taken to social media in hopes of being the one to get called up to face "The Notorious" next.
