Conor McGregor claims he has yet to be contacted by the UFC regarding the stripping of his featherweight title.

In late November, reports surfaced about the stripping of Conor McGregor’s UFC featherweight title. After being unable to defend it for an entire year, the UFC had apparently decided to take it away from him and reinstate then interim titleholder Jose Aldo as the undisputed 145-pound world champion.

Even so, “The Notorious” has repeatedly denied that he was stripped of the belt, and claims he is still a two-weight world champion. In a recent interview with RTE Sport (via MMA Fighting), McGregor revealed that the UFC has not even spoken to him about it yet.

"All I know is they're trying to type onto keyboard and say, we're taking this belt, we're taking that belt, we're doing this, we're doing that. You ain't doing nothing without contacting me first,” McGregor said.

"I'm still the two-weight world champion. Make no mistake about that. They can say what they want, they can try and get phony belts and hand them out to people I've already destroyed. I mean, the current champion is a guy I KO'd in 13 seconds.”

“The current interim champion is a guy I destroyed as well,” McGregor continued. “Officially, I don't care what nobody says. I am the two-weight world champion and that is that."

One thing he did make clear after his UFC 205 win against Eddie Alvarez last November was his intent to take a break, particularly since he and long-time girlfriend Dee Devlin are expecting their first child in the coming year. But as far as his specific plans go, McGregor says he has yet to sit down with the UFC’s new owners.

"I'm weighing up my options. But again, I expect that conversation,” McGregor said. “I expect them to fly that jet to me. Ari, Patrick, the new owners from WME-IMG, the guys that bought the UFC for $4 billion, I want to speak to them. I want to see what their plan is. Because right now I don't know what nobody's plan is."
