Despite UFC 200 looming, UFC 202 is garnering plenty of interest with the anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz set, as well as it's two latest additions.
The promotion officially confirmed two fights for the stacked UFC 202; Anthony Johnson vs. Glover Teixeira and Donald Cerrone vs. Rick Story.
Johnson vs. Teixeira has been rescheduled to this event after Johnson was forced to bow out of their original date due to personal reasons, while Cerrone continues his venture at 170lbs taking on surging contender Story.
'Rumble' has been on menacing form since his title defeat to Daniel Cormier brutalising Londoner Jimi Manuwa before stopping TUF winner Ryan Bader in 90-seconds. His Brazilian foe is also on a crest of a wave currently on a three-fight win streak, recently knocking out former light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans.

Cerrone is 2-0 following his move to welterweight, as Story has propelled himself into title picture with victories over European standouts Tarec Saffiedine and Gunnar Nelson - McGregor's teammate.
UFC 202 goes down on August 20th - early hours on the 21st for us British and Irish fans - from T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. What a card it's shaping up to be.
