Conor McGregor Still Considers Himself a Double UFC Champion
Conor McGregor said in a new interview that he still considers himself both the UFC lightweight and featherweight champion. McGregor discussed the situation in a conference call (per MMAjunkie); the highlights are below:
On if he considers himself a double-champion still: “100%…I mean, how can I not consider myself the UFC featherweight world champion and the UFC lightweight world champion?”
On why he considers himself such: “The current UFC (featherweight) champion is Max Holloway, a man I dismantled. And the former was Jose Aldo. I still reign supreme over that division. And then also the 155-pound division. I know there’s talk of an interim belt. I won that belt and literally one month later there was an interim scheduled. But it is what it is. Everyone knows I am the multiple world champion of the UFC featherweight division and lightweight division. I look forward to coming back and continuing where I left off.”
