Conor McGregor Denies UFC Stripped Him Of Featherweight Title Belt
Share this: Conor McGregor says he still has the UFC featherweight title belt, and if you want him to give it up, you’ll have to do so in the Octagon.

UFC rules prohibit fighters from holding two belts simultaneously, but McGregor, who also owns the lightweight belt, doesn’t appear to care.

I still got that belt, that belt is still at home right now’,” McGregor recently said at an event in Northern Ireland. “I’m
