McGregor still considers himself UFC featherweight champion

Conor McGregor still considers himself the baddest dog in the UFC featherweight yard, despite the fact he has no championship belt to show for it.

The current UFC lightweight champion was asked during a conference call Wednesday whether or not he still considers himself the featherweight champion, and in typical McGregor fashion, he agreed confidently and candidly.

"How can I not consider myself the UFC featherweight world champion and the UFC lightweight world champion? The current UFC featherweight world champion is Max Holloway, a man who I dismantled. The former was Jose Aldo. I still reign supreme over that division," McGregor said. "And then also, the 155-pound division, I know there's talks of an interim belt. I had only won that belt and literally a month later there was an interim scheduled. It is what it is.

"Everyone knows I am the multiple weight world champion of the UFC's featherweight division and lightweight division. I look forward to coming back and continuing where I left off."

McGregor's schedule past his superfight with Floyd Mayweather on Aug. 26 is still unknown, but it's not unreasonable to think he will be motivated to make his way back to the 145-pound division and attempt to take back what he believes to be his.
