"It was more the UFC [who made the decision].” said Kavanagh. “For me personally, I was very disappointed with how they went about doing it.” “It was a very messy set of circumstances which led to doing it. They lost a main event (at UFC 206) and then they haphazardly threw together a new main event.” “They felt they had to make this for a title in order for it to sell so they brought in another interim title that Jose Aldo already has and then bumped Jose Aldo up to the current undisputed champion. Which just seems ridiculous to me.” “It’s only been 11 months since he won that title. There have been many, many examples of fighters waiting 15 months, 18 months before defending it. He’s 11 months and they stripped him of it.” “I thought it was very shortsighted by the UFC how they went about doing it.”
"Is it getting any closer? I don’t know is the short answer. It certainly wouldn’t surprise me to hear that it’s going to happen. "I mean, for Mayweather, he’s 49-0, I’m sure he wants that 50th fight. It’s a nice number. "Right now ask the average guy on the street, who do they want to see Mayweather fight, what fight is going to get the most amount of interest? And it would be a superfight with Conor. "Stranger things have happened in combat sports than a Mayweather vs. Conor fight. "I wouldn’t be surprised by it. Who knows? It’s one of the many options that are there for Conor so let’s see how the next couple of weeks go. "If the odds were good enough (on it happening) I’d put a few quid on it for next year.”

Gamebred wrote: » If you tuned into Diaz McGregor 2 you have no right to want him stripped or complain about him not defending it in them 11 months, it was the most watched MMA fight ever according to ppv numbers so the UFC will profit from that on one hand yet strip him on the other they cant have it both ways.
