Ferguson? How about Conor?
Taking all things into consideration. I think this is the best time to strip Conor for the UFC.
With Ferguson now out on injury/post-operation. They should strip Conman, and promote Ferguson to champ.
Then make the Khabib v Barboza fight for the interim. Winner then unifies with Ferguson for undisputed. Its what they wanted all along when Khabib v Ferguson was for the interim.
If Conor even returns, he can fight Nate like he always wanted. Or fuck off and do whatever else he wants to do.
