Though it seems a lifetime past, less than a year ago, Conor McGregor was the reigning UFC featherweight champion, having taken the title off of Jose Aldo at UFC 194 in December 2015. McGregor’s reign as champion was brief though, the UFC stripping him of his title when he won the lightweight belt last November. Since then, Max Holloway defeated Aldo to claim the featherweight title for himself, and though Holloway is confident his status as champion will remain the same should McGregor ever deign to return to 145 pounds, the featherweight champion doesn’t seem to think that’s likely.
