Conor McGregor Vs. Dustin Poirier: For The Lightweight Belt?
With the apparent confirmation, Dana White also clarified that the contest would not be for the UFC gold. In the same conference he threw light on Khabib Nurmagomedov’s status quo, and stated that he is still a part of the division, and the holder of the Lightweight title.
As per Dana, UFC will give Nurmagomedov the time he requires to come out with a concrete statement, and till then nothing will be certain regarding the Lightweight Championship and It’s Interim belt.
So, the stakes might not do justice with the stature of the McGregor Vs. Poirier rematch. However, there is a general realization that whoever will win, may become the new leader of the 155 pound division.
