Cole Miller has been forced out of his July 19 fight with Conor McGregor in the O2 due to a thumb injury. McGregor will now face Diego Brandao instead.

Brandao has a 4-2 record in the UFC and Dana White described him yesterday as 'an explosive and a well-rounded fighter,' adding 'this should be war.'
McGregor's trainer John Kavanagh had this to say about the news:
In future just let us know opponent's name at weigh ins. I'm going to assume a few changes along the way.

Good reason why my fighters and I continually say we don't do training camps and we don't focus on opponents. New opponent, same result.
