White: 'McGregor may never return to 145'

[lookoutawhale]

Frankie needs to follow him to 155!

Especially if they're not planning on defending anytime soon, or possibly never. After he fights Nate, if he asks for any fight other a 145 lb title defense, he should vacate. Frankie rightly deserves a crack at the belt, and Aldo deserves a chance to reclaim it. Especially considering how he lost it.

These guys shouldn't be denied because of the "champ's" pipe dream. If he does hold the belt and fights RDA or Robbie, I don't think he should be considered a 2 division champ if he wins one of their belts then vacates FW without a defense. Technically, he wouldn't even have been in the division for two fights and if he doesn't go back, I don't think it should count. But I fully expect the UFC would call it legit and give him the record.

Plus the reebok deal offers such a bump for title fights. They're losing out on extra pay.

Of course Conor is ducking Edgar. Conor calls himself a champion but he won't defend the title.

Why would he return to 145? There's nobody there for him other than Frankie Edgar. He dusted off the #1 145lber of all time in 13 seconds. Nothing left for him at 145, time to test his skills at 155.

Yeah.... so about that.......

Conor's next fight WILL be at 145.

Say goodbye to 170 & 155.

Frankie's on a treadmill as I type this lol.
