Conor McGregor Officially Stripped of UFC Title Following UFC 223

While that was a disingenuous stance—McGregor is currently embroiled in a contract dispute with the promotion and faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a boxing match that the UFC had a hand in promoting in August—there is no question his continued absence from the cage stalls the lightweight division at a time when it is overflowing with contenders.

Still, if there was any hope McGregor would retain his title, it likely ended the second he was cuffed.

What does the future hold for McGregor? According to White, the UFC was targeting a September return for the now-former champion, but with McGregor’s legal status up in the air, he is now uncertain.

McGregor is scheduled to return to court in New York on June 14. Don’t expect any details on his return to the Octagon until then.
