MMA Lightweight Lineal Championship History
I think that Poirier vs McGregor 2 was for the lineal championship. Khabib- unofficially retired – said that they were the best lightweight at the moment. Poirier was a former interim champion and after the loss against Khabib he faced and defeated a top 5 (Hooker). Conor was the former UFC undisputed & Lineal Champion and after the loss agaist Khabib he faced and defeated a top 5 (Cerrone), although in a ww bout. Poirer at the moment of victory against Conor was the uncrowned champion.
