Conor McGregor has set some notable records in the UFC. Apart from being the first fighter to simultaneously become a world champion in two weight classes, he is also the only fighter to have zero attempts at defending any of his titles.
McGregor has yet to be officially stripped of the UFC lightweight title, which both Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov would be contending for at UFC 223 this April. But according to his striking coach Owen Roddy, McGregor should not exactly be faulted for it.
“You know, and at the moment – he didn’t get to defend his featherweight belt because at the time there was nobody there for him to fight against, there just wasn’t the opponent there,” Roddy told Submission Radio in a recent interview.
