Now that we have a more clear picture, let's analyze the UFC's plan for 155

Dana’s plan: pray that Max beats a surging but beatable Poirier (not a world beater by any means, possibly even just a hardworking journeyman tbh) to set up Max vs Conor rematch to groom the cash cow back becus Tony would murk McGregor otherwise
 
Stripping Khabib just wouldnt make sense. Hes undefeated and beat the living life out of Conor in one of the most viewed matches in history. It would just make the UFC look bad to strip a guy who is walking through everyone
Khabib doesn't want to come back until November, not many people can wrench UFC's wrists. In normal circumstances, a fighter in that situation is absolutely getting stripped. Look at Tyron, he doesn't pick the fighters or the time between fights because he is one mistake away from losing the belt.

LOL....a journeyman that spent his entire career fighting at the top level in the UFC, he's in his prime right now and 8-1 at LW with 6 finishes over Alverez, Gaetchje, Pettis. That's called a top level fighter.
