Conor was #3 on some sites at the time, #2 on others, #4 on others
But without a doubt Conor was universally top 5 while Mendes was universally #1 or #2
Regardless that doesn't defeat the point
Conor and Mendes were 2 of the very best FWs.
When Aldo pulled out. Conor vs Mendes was the other biggest fight possible at FW. An interium title made perfect sense there.
Tony getting an interium belt for beating #7 ranked Lee makes NO SENSE under no circumstances, and was a joke
That would be like if Conor got the interium title for beating Siver
The same people who would've crucified Conor for that, or in this thread defending Tony's FAKE belt win against #7 ranked Lee.
The same people who probably called Conor the "fake champ" when he won the interium title against #2 Mendes, are here calling Tony the "real champ" for a win over #7 ranked Lee.
Them double standards. Conor hating hypocrisy is the worst.
And just so you know, I wasnt calling Conor the official champ when he beat Mendes, but I knew that once Aldo stopped running away from Conor that Conor was going to easily unify and become the official champ, and that it was only a matter of time
But Conor did get a title shot for beating Siver... And the Conor/Mendes fight for an interim title was a joke.
Interim title definition -
Occasionally, the champion of a particular weight division is temporarily unable to defend his championship because of medical, legal, or other reasons that are beyond the competitor's control.
All but 2 interim titles were because of injury, Conor's being 1 of them in which he just flat out doesn't want to fight Ferguson/Khabib
