Conor dosent need to defend the belt rightnow

[Megatronlee]

Frankie needs to fight aldo first. Once that fight happens THEN conor can face the winner. Aldo needs a fight before the belt and Edgar needs to rematch aldo before he gets Conor. Unless Frankie wants Cruz at 135 or calls out RDA

 

[cumafish]

actually he does, taking 1 fight out of division is acceptable...2 or more is not

 

[ortizgnp]

Yea, nice try buddy.

 

[Silverstar17]

Any other fight than a 145 title fight doesn't make sense. It's ridiculous that the division has to be put on hold unless it's because of an injury. A rematch with Nate is the worst possible idea.

Imagine the situation if Conor loses again, which consider quite likely. A defending champion coming off two losses? That's a joke!

 

[a Cop on Roids]

lmao. nice logic buddy.

 

[Spiderbite]

If Aldo's reign was a precedent, he's got 11 more months before he HAS to defend it.

There should be a dislike button for threads like these

"Let's eliminate the fighter who poses the biggest thread to our cashcow by making him rematch a guy who just got knocked out in 13 seconds. Let's also hold up a division for a year"

 

[Wardum]

Makes sense, Champ doesn't have to defend his belt lol

 

[leatherf4ce]

This is going to suck if the rumor to get Nate/Conor 2 is true. Conor needs to defend the belt. Sure, the Aldo fight hasn't been that long ago, so it's not literally holding up the FW division. But if Conor's active and fighting, but not to defend his belt, then it is technically holding up the FW division. HE NEEDS TO DEFEND IT ALREADY!

The feds need to raid and shut down the UFC.

 

[the can]

worst thread idea ever.

People keep talking about aldo hey you morons how many times did aldo actually defend that fw belt before putting it on hold?
How many times has conor defended it?
This is bullshit, if hes able to fight its his duty to defend that title, being injured is not the same as being able to fight and not defend.

Just to make things very clear to you : "No more fights outside of FW".

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

Horrible idea. No. It's time to get back to FW.

 

[Shocktagon]

Before losing to Diaz, I was fine with him holding up the 145 belt to accomplish greatness at 155 but that has gone out the window. He doesn't deserve to have top 155 fights while sitting on the 145 belt anymore. He was holding onto the it as a contingency plan and it's contingency time. He either defends or gives it up.

 

[slipleft]

The champ doesn't simply peace out until someone 'worthy' comes along (notwithstanding that Edgar absolutely is worthy). The champ should fight the no.1 contender, and there is always a no. 1 contender.

 

[Bogeyman]

Fuck it, make an interim featherweight belt again and let someone else fight for it. Or else just have McGregor vacate it. All the sensitivity about the integrity of the featherweight title is absurd.
