Call it what you want, he's deserving of time off. He'll defend when he comes back. It's not like there's a hurry for him to come back, since the top contenders in the division can't stay healthy.It's an excuse. People are probably trying to use that same excuse for why he shouldn't be stripped of the FW title. Being active is nice but it's just not an excuse to not defend your belt. The champ has an obligation.
No. Aldo is fine. Why not strip him too?
Of course, It's only an issue when Conor wants time off.
Stipe said he's taking time off after beating werdum

All 3 are not as active as Conor. Conor was up front about his time off and actually gave a reason why. The others just said they are tired and deserve a break. That's okay though...

Voted Yes
It's 4 months since his fight with Alvarez. Dude is completely healthy and refuses to fight. If you refuse to fight you should be stripped. Enough of this bs. By the time Mayweather fight happens he has held the LW belt in hostage for 1 year which is crazy
Cool, Tony can wait or fight someone else in the meantime.Tony is ready. The division is held up because of him.
Well, to be fair, given that he fought Eddie almost a year after Aldo, and announced he was taking 10 months off, I was all for stripping him at FW.If that happens he'll set a record in that he'll have been stripped of a title less than a year after winning it, TWICE.
Another record set will be having been stripped twice, yet he still remains double champion.

Or he can take the time off that he deserves.Or the champion can actually defend his belt because there is nothing wrong with him.
lol Conor owns the UFC , gtfo
No he shouldn't. Up until 206 Conor was the champ, healthy and fighting. Give me one good reason why the interim champ should defend when the full champ is healthy and fighting?Aldo should have fought Holloway at 206. He sits out way too much.
lol triggeredOwns the ufc? The UFC was doing perfectly fine before mctapper showed up and will continue to do well if he left. No one would give a shit about him if he was to leave the UFC today, he would go off and try to make his own promotion that people will watch for one or two events until no one cares about the nobodies he puts on the card and the horrible production value and design because mcgregor has no taste or style.
He had just fought for, and won, the LW belt at 205. Of course he wouldn't fight on the next event. Aldo had been sitting for 5 months when 206 happened.No he shouldn't. Up until 206 Conor was the champ, healthy and fighting. Give me one good reason why the interim champ should defend when the full champ is healthy and fighting?
The moment Conor was stripped Aldo signed to fight the winner of Halloway/Pettis. Then Halloway pulled out of the Brooklyn card after cringed callout
lol triggered

I'm actually quite surprised with your counter argument, it was twice as much as I was expecting from a mctapper dick sucker.
