After the recent talks about holding a December fight card in Cowboys Stadium in Texas, UFC president Dana White said that the highly anticipated featherweight title unification fight between champion Jose Aldo and interim champion Conor McGregor will be held at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas on Dec. 12.

As reported by Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports, White also said that the MGM Resorts officials "moved heaven and earth" to allow the company to hold the massive event in Las Vegas.

Dec. 5 was previously the targeted date for the Aldo-McGregor fight, but because the MGM was already booked for an Andre Bocelli concert on that date, White began talking about potentially putting together a Aldo-McGregor, Ronda Rousey-Miesha Tate card at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

"If you would've asked me, I would have told you for sure we were going to Dallas Cowboys Stadium," White said last Thursday after claiming he was in talks with Cowboys' officials about putting a fight card there.

White also said that the women's bantamweight title fight between Rousey and Tate has not yet been scheduled, but will not be on the Dec. 12 card.

"That fight isn't going to be on the [Aldo-McGregor] card, for sure. If we were going to go to Dallas Cowboys Stadium, that's another story, but the MGM really wanted the fight and the made a huge effort for it and they got it. And it works out better for us to be in Las Vegas.," White said.

Bleacher Report's Jeremy Botter opined that the Cowboys Stadium talk was just a negotiation ploy. "Dallas was never a real option. Was always leverage to get MGM to pay more. Those fights were never leaving Las Vegas," he tweeted.

Botter also speculates that a rematch between UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez could be the co-main event at the Aldo-McGregor card, while a UFC middleweight title fight between champion Chris Weidman and Luke Rockhold could join a Jan. 2 card headlined by Rousey and Tate.
