UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and featherweight challenger Conner McGregor will make separate late night TV appearances with an eye to plugging their upcoming matches.
Rousey will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live on July 1 to speak about her upcoming match against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 in Brazil. The show will air on ABC at 11:35 p.m. ET
McGregor will be appearing on Conan on July 2. He was originally set to face Jose Aldo for the featherweight title at UFC 189 in Las Vegas on July 11, but a change of plans now sees him facing Chad Mendes instead.
Expect McGregor to shed more light as he reacts to the sudden change of opponent.
Rousey is expected to reveal her plans against Correia, whom she will meet at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro on August 1. The fight promises to be a good matchup, and Rousey already said she would punish Corriea for making careless remarks which eventually became tied up to a horrible past.
This was in reference to that suicide tweet that Correia sent Rousey's way. Rousey has been known to have close ties with her father, who committed suicide when she was still young.
For his part, McGregor will share his thoughts about the rib injury that sidelined Aldo and brought in Mendes, who had been placed on standby in case Aldo was ruled unfit to compete.
Despite the change, the interim title bout will still headline UFC 189, which will also feature a bout between Robbie Lawler and Rory McDonald.
