The UFC also made official a featherweight interim title fight between Frankie Edgar and Jose Aldo was announced for UFC 200:

With McGregor tied up in a second fight with Diaz, the featherweight division will now crown an interim champion on the same night at UFC 200.

Edgar, who is widely considered the top ranked contender in the division, will face former champion Jose Aldo with the winner walking away as the new interim king at 145 pounds.

Edgar actually fell to Aldo in a close decision in his first fight at featherweight back in 2013 but since that time the former lightweight champion has won five fights in a row to position himself atop the division.

Aldo will return to action for the first time since losing to McGregor at UFC 194, which was the first time he suffered a loss in nearly a decade. Now Aldo will attempt to earn a rematch with McGregor while wrapping a title back around his waist at the same time.
