Fighters React To UFC Stripping Conor McGregor Of Featherweight Title

After the big news that the UFC would strip Conor McGregor of the featherweight title and give it to Jose Aldo, fighters have commented on the news on social media.

Lets taco-bout it. So is Jose Aldo happy to hear the news that Conor has been stripped of the title & hes now "Champ" again @EliasTheodorou

Meaning Conor isn't going to fight at 145 any time soon? I don't think Aldo is very happy this morning… https://t.co/MWwPPtUD8G

So, if Conor relinquishes the belt, and Aldo is champ, why is there an interim title? Ugh. #UFCMelbourne

Don't think Aldo or any of the featherweights will feel like a champion as long as Conor is still active

So when the #UFC says @NotoriousMMA relinquished his 145 lb, belt, I hear: "We pried it from his cold dead hands."

If they stripped CM, why is Pettis vs Holloway an interim title fight and not a title fight?

Volkanovski saying he wants to take out the featherweight division. — no word on whether he's been given an interim title yet.
