TORRANCE, Calif. -- Conor McGregor holds the UFC featherweight title, thought he was going to compete for the lightweight crown, and will compete at welterweight on March 5.
And while McGregor is going up 25 pounds to meet Nate Diaz at UFC 196 after his planned bout against lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos fell out due to dos Anjos' broken foot, McGregor isn't sweating the details on weight classes.
As far as Mystic Mac is concerned, he's a championship unto himself.
"It doesn't matter what weight division or what belt is on the line because really I should create my own belt," McGregor suggested at Wednesday's wild UFC 196 press conference.
