BOSTON – Conor McGregor has not been stripped of his UFC lightweight title … yet. But the next lightweight title fight, which will be between interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson (23-3 MMA, 13-1 UFC) and undefeated Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov (25-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC), will be for the undisputed lightweight belt. That belt currently is held by McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC). And presumably between today’s announcement and the Ferguson-Nurmagomedov headliner at UFC 223, McGregor no longer will be the UFC’s 155-pound champ
