Conor McGregor knows a thing or two about UFC titles and he wasn’t pleased to see Kelvin Gastelum flaunting one this weekend.
Gastelum was booked to challenge middleweight champion Robert Whittaker in the main event of UFC 234 on Saturday in Melbourne, Australia, but the bout was canceled and Gastelum removed from the card entirely after Whittaker was forced to withdraw hours before the show started due to a hernia that required immediate surgery.
While Gastelum had nothing but words of support for his ailing adversary at first, later in the evening he conducted an interview in which he declared himself to be the new UFC middleweight champion by forfeit.
