They just officially announced Conor is relinquishing the 145lb belt and Aldo is defacto champ now.
That's what happens when you don't defend your belt 
I think he's gonna fight Woodley next. That'll probably be the compromise.
OCMikey - I think he's gonna fight Woodley next. That'll probably be the compromise.
I'd rather see him fight Woodley and having 3 belts. If only the UFC would have waited a few months.
I don't think there was a compromise. These new owners aren't playing his bullshit games and don't care about his ultimatums. Id bet he's fighting nate next. Funny if they made him fight Khabib, he'd prolly rather retire instead. But I sure they'll at least let him pick his next fight and he will definitely pick nate.
hes not stupid enough to fight woodley. He might actually get hurt fucking around with that shit.
This must be eating Aldo alive.
I think he might leave the ufc now.
I Swing Both Ways -
this.
Aldo should go up to lightweight - it's the best move for him
Jack Skellington -This must be eating Aldo alive.
Why? Aldo is obviously keen, he can't do anything about Conor dodging him.
Don't get me wrong, I hope they get him to fight Ferguson, Khabib or Aldo at 155. I honestly could not care less if he fights Nate again.
He's got a lot of pull, so I think he'll possibly get the Woodley fight. There's nothing to lose, and that is a good thing for business for everyone.
I think the majority knew from the get go he would never defend, and then relinquish shortly after winning the LW belt.
I really don't see the Woodley fight happening though. I could be wrong.
To me they made it sound like Conor was completely cool with the situation. If anything I would suspect he got his wish, and picked up some shares of the company.
Big bummer for Aldo though. As a fan this isn't how I wanted him to reclaim the title.
Jack Skellington -He should be happy because he was never beating Conor in a rematchThis must be eating Aldo alive.
They took away his little boy belt?
SurgicalGloves -This, but also Conor was never making 145 again hes too big and his size and power were clearly his biggest advantage against Aldo.Jack Skellington -He should be happy because he was never beating Conor in a rematchThis must be eating Aldo alive.
Sir Psycho Sexy - I think he might leave the ufc now.
Aldo is getting fucked over at this point. He is one of only two men to ever be UFC FW champ and is the current interim champ. He has been waiting for Conor to finally defend the title and doing all he can to get that fight. And now Pettis and Holloway are fighting for the interim belt? It seems pretty fucked up to me.
Aldo got knocked out cold. Chump champ. Tommy Gunn. Paper champ.
rtuzzo -And you could argue Conor was never champ, never defended the belt.Aldo got knocked out cold. Chump champ. Tommy Gunn. Paper champ.
JOESONDO - That's what happens when you don't defend your belt
This is what it shoulda been about. Seems though that its more about business again as they scrambled to replace the axed AJ/DC bout.
Sport Entertainment.

He was the champ. He KOed Aldo. However, getting the LW title shot without defending the FW belt. GEtitng a rematch with Nate and getting the shot again with a 3-2 decision. Taking a vaca 3 fights post-FW title without defending FW belt. Letting him parade his 2 belts around and then giving it up because they need a replacement for DC/AJ.
FARCE.
