First interim title ever where the title holder fighting on same card in non title rematch?

[steliokontos]

Anyone else find this completely ridiculous? McGregor hasn't even defended his belt yet and he is already fighting a non title rematch for a fight he lost and one contender gets taken care of for him by another one so they can hold a belt the UFC is going to announce isn't real cos Conor is the real champ every chance they get.

Yup. The UFC has gone full retard.

 

[Paradigm]

Can't recall this ever happening before in the UFC but who knows?

 

[Lavitz]

Waste of time for the FW division.

Strong favouritism in the UFC. Disgusting.

 

[Sjb1888]

Yup, changing the game one fight at a time...

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Card would be better if Conor defended his belt AND then fought Nate. We'd see how much progress he's made with his energy.

It is pretty goddamn weird

Conor owns every record in the game

Nate might get injured and frankie/aldo can step in, this is perfect.

Unfortunately that's the point.

Confirms the non sport aspect of UFC. Not MMA in general.Extra sweet for Conor also if Nate gets injured somehow and he has to fight one of the other guys who has cut weight etc. Whole thing sounds preplanned to me

Yes they fucking did....

[UJustGotChaeld]

Ridiculous.

 

[Gougz]

In the right world McGregor would have vacated the belt but we know it isn't gonna happen so an interim belt is the good thing to do, even though it doesn't make any sense, but hey it's the UFC, fuck logic.

Yup. The UFC has gone full retard.

Never go full retard.

I don't even want it to be a sport. Kick reebok to the curb bring back sponsors and tell Fox this is MMA bitches, take it or leave it.

It's hilarious. Conor haters are going to lose their mind.

Yeah those idiotic Conor haters,

Preferring to see a champion defend his title against a deserving and intriguing contender rather than two completely irrelevant and pointless rematches!!!

Psh, idiots!!!

Conor brings in new fans, which is obviously a good thing...

UFC gonna UFC. What are ya gonna do, though? You should all have realized and accepted that the UFC can be a huge joke.
