If he loses then that helps nothing, but if he wins, what the hell does that do?
Tie up the FW division for a rematch at magicweight for no belt? And if McGregor wins, what then? As the FW strap holder he can say he defended a loss 25 pounds up?
So what?
The UFC is losing some dignity here in the structure of its belts and purpose. I think Conor is, too.
We all know he is ducking Frankie. This is a pointless distraction meant to stall forward his grip on gold, but it makes no sense in any direction. The reputation of of both McGregor and the UFC suffers from this.
