Does Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) play favorites?
If you didn't already know that answer to that question, Andre Pederneiras, wants to have a word with you. During his conversation with Sherdog, Andre revealed that he lobbied to the UFC higher-ups to let Jose Aldo compete for the Lightweight title while he was Featherweight champion.
A request that was shot down repeatedly over the course of four years.
So you can see why he isn't to happy that Conor McGregor was allowed to move up to 155-pounds after his first request, all while being allowed to hold on to his 145-pound title.
