Instead, he defended his belt against Jorge Masvidal (37), and accused McGregor (33) of giving him the silent treatment.

In 2020, he beat Donald Cerrone (38), at 170lb, sparking talk of a fight against Usman.
McGregor was the first person to have two UFC titles at once, as he reigned as both the featherweight champion and the lightweight champion.
But he has always longed to be a part of UFC history, becoming the only champion in THREE divisions.
McGregor tweeted November, "I fancy it greatly to the treble."
His two last fights were at lightweight against Dustin Poirier who he knocked out back in 2014.
The first round ended in Poirier's knockout win, before McGregor broke McGregor's tibia in round 1.
Since then, he has had a successful operation and is back in training for a possible comeback later this year.
