Oh, boy. In a desperate attempt to validate UFC 206 as a card worthy of $59.95 of your pay-per-view dollars, the UFC has decided to manufacture an interim featherweight title tilt between Max Holloway and Anthony Pettis as the show’s new main event.
MMAFighting.com first reported the news Saturday. The UFC has yet to address the situation.
Light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was originally slated to defend his crown against Anthony Johnson in the card’s featured attraction, but Cormier has suffered an undisclosed injury that forced him off the December 10 event.
But Jose Aldo is already the UFC’s interim featherweight champ, you say.
