Dana "We're not stripping Tony Ferguson"

[dim_]

So Ferguson keeps his interim belt while Max and Khabib fight for the "undisputed" belt

what the fuck is going on


(and there very existance of the interim belt means that the title IS "disputed")

 

[BigMuffler]

I guess Conor (for all his $$$ power) is the one being stripped?

 

[Khabib Fan]

What the faaaaa????

 

[Strict Nine]

That was a really convoluted answer by Dana. I don't think anyone could follow what he was on about. Didn't he already go on a talk show and confirm he was stripping Tony?

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

By the end of UFC 223, there will be 9 different LW belts.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

They are stripping Tony though

Tony is number 1 contender again

 

[jojoRed]

Its funny cause at the beginning he said "No interim champ for Tony". He legit changed his mind within minutes.

So we still might get Tony vs Khabib. Damn, Dana White telling stories again. Round 5 coming soon...........

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Fight is for the undisputed interim title.

 

[Congo66]

You can still be the #1 contender and not have some made up bullshit interim title.
The UFC should scrap all of interim belts and never give any more out as they're pointless.

 

[UFC=Pride]

Huh what the fuck

 

[ThinkBig500]

What an absolute clusterfuck and it all goes back to McGregor

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

So we still might get Tony vs Khabib. Damn, Dana White telling stories again. Round 5 coming soon...........

Tony vs Khabib??? wow what a fight, they'd surely never book that fight?

 

[josp1]

Hey Dana - as long as you're passing them out - can I get me one of those LW belts too?

 

[Mage Forthnutt]

Might as well have the ibo, WBC, wba, ibf, ring belts like boxing.

 

[dim_]

You can still be the #1 contender.

but if Conor is fighting the winner of these two "this year" then hes the #1 contender

 

[Deleted member 506663]

So...we need an interim interim title since he's unable to fight . Lol and someone called this the Golden Age of UFC. Nothing but a circus

 

[Bubba32]

There not stripping him. He'll just cease to be interim champ once the official champ is crowned.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Sounds like they are stripping Conor and making this fight for the actual belt.

Tony hangs onto the Interim and becomes mandatory first title defense for the winner of this fight, to unify both belts.

 

[Lo Pan]

Strip-no strip? Who cares.

The real champion is going to be crowned on Saturday.
