Dana White has claimed that he will strip Conor McGregor of the UFC lightweight title ahead of UFC 223.
Initially, the UFC president said he had already the addressed the title issue at a press conference in Boston for UFC 223 last month.
“I said in the last press conference that fight will be for the title. It’s not for the interim title, that fight will be for the title,” White told TMZ Sports.
White then suggested that he would strip “The Notorious” to facilitate the lightweight title showdown between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
