"There's no stripping. We're not stripping Tony Ferguson. Tony Ferguson isn't being stripped. The only one that's losing the belt here is Conor. Conor's losing the belt. These two (Holloway and Nurmagomedov) are fighting for the belt."McGregor has not been too active on social media of late but did surface, earlier in the week, to take a pop at Ferguson, who pulled out of his planned bout with Nurmagomedov at late notice. On Thursday morning, however, the 29-year-old fired off a massive broadside. [WARNING: There is a particularly bad word in the tweet below] https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/981790292343914496 That is certainly a preposterous and brash statement from McGregor. It is now over 500 days since the Dubliner has defended his lightweight title and there has not even been a title defence booked. White said McGregor will fight later this year but if it is not until October or November, he will have been absent from MMA for almost two years. The official weigh-ins will take place in Brooklyn on Friday morning and if both Nurmagomedov and Holloway both make championship weight [155lbs or under] the fight will be for the undisputed lightweight belt. McGregor will then be officially stripped of his title. Nothing has happened yet but his time as UFC champion may well be winding up.
