Everyone are booked because "the champ" refuses to fight.When another clear contender emerges is the deadline
If you stripped Conor right now nothing would change, there is no one currently for Tony to fight.
Khabib booked
Edson booked
Gaethje booked
Eddie booked
Conor COULD have fought Khabib in maybe feb this year. The winner could have fought Tony in may/june. Edson could have got a title shot in sept. Gaethje could be up for the next shot in dec/jan.
But...since Conor doesn't want to fight all they can do is sign up to fight each other.
Conor already got 9 months off BEFORE the Mayweather fight. Why give him another 12 months after that when he is fully healthy and we have fighters with impressive winning streaks who want to challange for the title?A year from the Mayweather fight.... I'd say a year of not defending NOT due to injury, ie) Inactive completely at the fighter's discretion.
However, the UFC granted him permission to fight Mayweather, so in essence they sanctioned that shit, and I don't believe you should penalize McGregor for that by including that as inactive time.
SO: If he doesn't defend by August 26th 2018.
