'The winner of this fight will be the champion': Conor McGregor to lose UFC belt

His continued inactivity has been deemed unfair to his rivals.

Conor McGregor will seemingly be stripped of his UFC lightweight title after company president Dana White declared that the winner of Tony Ferguson-Khabib Nurmagomedov will be the new champion at 155lbs.

McGregor is widely regarded as the UFC’s biggest draw but has not had a mixed martial arts bout since November 2016, when he defeated Eddie Alvarez to claim the lightweight strap.
