BOSTON (CBS) -- The Ultimate Fighting Championship will invade Boston soon, with a pretty good bout coming to town for January's "Fight Night."

UFC featherweight Conor McGregor, aka "The Notorious" when in the Octagon, recently joined WBZ NewsRadio 1030's Adam Kaufman to preview his upcoming fight against Russian Dennis Siver, which will take place on January 18 at the TD Garden.
