    Jose seems to have gone back on his decision, he was quoted as saying hes spoken to friends and family and thinks he is ready to come back and to expect something big

    They probably convinced him to hang on until after Conor and Eddie fight. If Conor wins and vacates the 145 belt they'll most likely declare him the undisputed champion at 145 or if Conor loses he'll finally defend his 145 title against Jose in a unification match.

    Yeah I'd imagine that's the case, despite all his whining and moaning, I'm happy they seem to have come to a conclusion for Jose. It's never nice to see a champion of that long not getting a title shot. As for Max Holloway, what more does the guy have to do to get a shot even at an interim belt?

    Jose: "I want a release"
    Dana: "Stop fu<king whining, wait a couple weeks until Conor fights and see what happens. You're under contract and you're not going anywhere anyway"
    Jose: "I'm think I'll wait a couple weeks until Conor fights, then see what happens. Thanks Dana"

    When you have no leverage, these conversations tend to be fairly one sided. I am sure Dana was marginally more polite but that's probably the jist.

    I'm not a Jose fan but come on, be fair. He was Zuffa's featherweight champion and when the UFC absorbed WEC they brought over all the talent and it's champion. Essentially his title was renamed, much like Cruz's and Ronda's after them. You can't pretend he wasn't legitimately the deserving UFC featherweight champion.

    He's already the Interim Champ. He would just be made full Champ if they decide to do it this way.

    He was never handed any belt. He was the champion of the division they canalized and changed the belt he had.

    Hopefully Holloway gets the title shot he deserves once this is all sorted out. If he wins his next fight he will have had the most consecutive wins without a title shot in UFC history.
