However, more recently there has been an influx of different storylines that have kept tying things up among the very top of the food chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the undisputed champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/khabib-nurmagomedov-receives-fine-suspension-at-nac-hearing\/\">suspended due to his post-fight actions at UFC 229<\/a> after he defended his title against Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just recently, an interim title bout between Dustin Poirier and featherweight champion, Max Holloway was announced as UFC 236&#8217;s headliner. Thus leaving perennial top contender Tony Ferguson out of the equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also on the outside looking in is &#8216;Raging&#8217; Al Iaquinta who was hoping to set something up with Poirier. Now that that option is off the table, Iaquinta is setting his sights on Ferguson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s gotta be Ferguson, that\u2019s the fight it\u2019s gotta be,&#8221; Iaquinta told <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Submission Radio (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/yr4y1HlzWXI\" target=\"_blank\">Submission Radio<\/a>. &#8220;There\u2019s no one else. I think that\u2019s what it should be. I doubt he\u2019ll take the fight. I don\u2019t know what his deal is. That guy, I have no idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is the most thinking I\u2019ve done. Since I heard about the Dustin, Max fight getting made I sent out a few text messages to the matchmakers and said, &#8216;what are we doing?&#8217; I need like a plan, you know, when you want me to fight, where you want me to fight, kind of like structure the next couple of weeks and months of my life. Because if you\u2019re gonna come to me with like four weeks left and asking me to take a fight, that\u2019s not the way it\u2019s really done. And it started to seem like that\u2019s the way it\u2019s becoming. They\u2019re scrambling for fights, they need fights, fights are falling off, and they have a million cards lined up. Every interim champion is now not an interim champion, they\u2019re fighting above a weight class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;You know, if you\u2019re a champion, the 135 <g class=\"gr_ gr_15 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"15\" data-gr-id=\"15\">champion<\/g> is now gonna be an interim champion at 145, the 145 champion\u2019s gonna be an interim champion at 155,&#8221; Iaquinta continued. &#8220;So, everyone\u2019s got a real belt, and an interim belt is just like\u2026 I don\u2019t know. I think they need some help over there to get back to the old [way]. Obviously, you got to keep progressing, but it\u2019s getting out of control. Now the belts don\u2019t mean anything. The old UFC belt meant something. So, maybe that\u2019s why they created this new belt that just doesn\u2019t mean anything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Ferguson vs Iaquinta the fight to make?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\"><em>BJPenn.com<\/em><\/a><em> on 2\/28\/2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The lightweight division has consistently been one of MMA&#8217;s deepest and best for several years now.
