UFC News: Stephen Thompson receives the NMF Title, Conor McGregor makes his claim

On tonight's edition of The MMA Show, ESPN's Ariel Helwani presented UFC Welterweight Stephen Thompson with the NMF Title (which is considered to be the opposite/more like a parody version of the BMF Title).

Upon receiving the title from Helwani, Thompson, who prior to his last fight at UFC 244 made his claim to the title, was immediately put on notice by Conor McGregor, who also wants a piece of the newly inaugurated title.

As it turned out, another welterweight who also wants a shot at the NMF Title is non-other than Conor McGregor, who is all set to make his Octagon return on the 18th of January, 2020 in the headliner of the UFC 246.

McGregor took to Twitter and sent out the following tweet, making his claim for the NMF Championship:
