Strip Conor of the 145 belt

[Ballsack Mcgee]

Until this happens, his retirement isn't official. He needs to be stripped and the Aldo/Edgar fight needs to be promoted to a real championship fight.

 

[Phrozenspite]

they should've stripped him immediately after he chose to take a second fight outside of the weight class when a challenger was available.

 

[IamStryker]

Doesn't that go without saying?

 

[Dead Kennedy]

You would have to think that they would.

 

[The guest]

Yeah he voluntarily retired.

Make the fight at 200 for the vacant belt.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Will they also strip GSP?
No need to strip someone who is retiring, LOL

 

[Selukrid612]

He in essence already relinquished it by retiring.

 

[Helden]

They should announce that Aldo vs Edgar is now for the vacant FW title

Strip him of the 145 title for "skipping promos" for a non-title fight 2 weight classes higher?

Letting a champion take two fights two weight classes above the one he holds a belt in that he has still yet to defend seems "legit"...

Didn't say I agreed with it or that it even makes sense, but if they've let it go this far already then it seems to defeat the purpose.

This is a bit further. you left out the part where he declared himself retired. As in, unable to or unwilling to fight anymore, nevermind defending the belt.

If he's actually retired, I'm down. The brass doesn't seem to be acknowledging his earlier tweet so until then I say he keeps the belt.

Kinda funny on sportscenter when they showed the 200 card their graphic showed aldo was defending the belt against Edgar
