Over the course of the past week, the UFC has had to fight several wildfires, on several different fronts. The first situation, was UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier withdrawing from his scheduled UFC 206 headlining bout against Anthony Johnson<\/a> due to a tear in his groin. The promotion’s initial plan was to find a replacement opponent for Johnson, however given that Rumble has not only defeated, but knocked out, every fighter in the top 5 of the light heavyweight division, they were unable to do so. Several men, including middleweights Gegard Mousasi and Tim Kennedy, offered to take the short notice fight with ‘Rumble’<\/a> however Johnson has opted to wait for Cormier unless he can find a heavyweight opponent willing to fight.<\/p>\n

\"Anthony<\/a><\/p>\n

The second situation was the questions and criticism regarding stripping Conor McGregor of the undisputed UFC featherweight championship<\/a>, and promoting interim champion Jose Aldo to the undisputed champion. Subsequently, the promotion then made UFC 206’s co-main event scrap between Max Holloway and former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis an interim featherweight championship fight.<\/a><\/p>\n

This brought the promotion quite a bit of criticism from McGregor fans, who were irate over the fact that the Irish superstar was stripped of the belt.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

The way Max Holloway sees it however, critics need to stop their whining. He spoke on the UFC 206 media conference call to discuss the fight:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got to go out there and do our damn things,\u201d Holloway said during the call. \u201cIt is what it is, Conor set the bar and I\u2019m here to beat it. That\u2019s the bar we\u2019ve got to beat and I\u2019m reaching for it. I have all intentions on smashing it. First things first, the first step is Dec. 10, so that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holloway was then asked about the situation between McGregor, the UFC, and Jose Aldo, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UFC gave him the title, the title says undisputed, so you can\u2019t deny him,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cIt is what it is, he\u2019s got the belt. I need to go out there Dec. 10, handle business, get what\u2019s mine and go after the undisputed one. I ain\u2019t no hater about the guy. He got the damn thing. He had the interim, they gave him the real one now. That\u2019s what it is. Everybody crying, you\u2019re not going to change it with all your whining. Stop your (expletive) whining and do something with your own life and move on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
