White: "The interim lightweight title will not be played out"

UFC CEO Dana White has announced that the promotion will not be holding an interim lightweight title fight.

"Islam has had quite a few fights and he has always been ready to go ... The interim title won't be drawn. When he's ready, we'll make the fight. We have plans, right now we're deciding when he fights. Will it be December 7th? I don't know, we're working on it," White said.
