TORONTO -- The UFC takes another step toward filling Conor McGregors sizable featherweight shoes when Max Holloway takes on Anthony Pettis in the main event of UFC 206 on Saturday night.With McGregor now focusing on his lightweight title, Jose Aldo has been upgraded from interim to featherweight champion. But McGregors successor as the undisputed 145-pound title-holder wont be decided until next year when Aldo is supposed to face the winner of Saturdays main event at the Air Canada Centre.Holloway is fighting for the same interim title that Aldo won in July via unanimous decision over Frankie Edgar at UFC 200. Pettis wont receive the same title if he wins since he failed to make weight Friday, weighing in at 148.Confused? The process is the UFCs way of restoring order after the championship havoc caused by McGregor ruling two weight classes. The Irish star wanted to defend both titles but the UFC stepped in to avoid a championship logjam that might see fighters in one weight class chaff while McGregor attended to the other division.The water at this division was super-murky, said Holloway. Now its super-clear. You know, the winner of this fight gets to fight for the undisputed title. And its always great to have extra cash in your pocket, too, so it means a lot. So we will see what happens. Well take care of business (Saturday) and its a straight shot after that.Aldo dethroned Mike Brown in November 2009 to win the WEC featherweight title and, when the UFC introduced lighter weight classes, became the UFCs first 145-pound champion. The Brazilian defended the UFC title seven straight times before McGregor knocked him out in 13 seconds at UFC 194 last December.The 25-year-old Holloway (16-3), a stylish well-rounded fighter, has won nine straight since losing a decision to McGregor in August 2013.The 29-year-old Pettis (19-5) made his featherweight debut in August, submitting Charles Oliveira. Pettis moved down a weight class after losing three straight at 155 pounds, a losing streak that started with Rafael Dos Anjos taking his lightweight title via unanimous decision at UFC 185 in March 2015.When the Toronto card was originally announced, many hoped it would signal a return to action for former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. But that didnt happen and light-heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier was matched against No. 1 contender Anthony Johnson in a rematch of their UFC 187 fight won by Cormier.That was scrapped when Cormier was injured in training, moving Holloway-Pettis up.Former light-heavyweight champion Rashad Evans was also removed from the Toronto card after failing to secure a license from the local commission for the second fight in a row. Middleweight Tim Kennedy, his opponent both times, will fight Kevin Gastelum instead Saturday.Donald Cowboy Cerrone takes on Matt Brown in the co-main event.The bouts are the first for Cerrone and Kennedy since stepping forward last week as two of the five high-profile fighters serving as the face of the Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association.

Geelong coach Chris Scott says his team doesnt deserve to be classified as top-four material, but he hopes that will change by the end of the home-and-away season.The Cats snapped their two-match losing run with an unconvincing 17-point AFL win over the Dockers in Perth on Friday night.Brownlow medal favourite Patrick Dangerfield was crucial in the 11.12 (78) to 9.7 (61) triumph, with his 31-disposal, four-goal effort helping the Cats get over the line.Geelongs best football has been irresistible this season.But their knack of playing poorly against lesser sides has cost them dearly, with the Cats losing to Carlton, Collingwood, and St Kilda.Scott conceded his team were poor and average early against the Dockers, but he also sees plenty of upside.Geelongs top-four hopes will go on the line over the next fortnight when they host fellow flag fancies Adelaide and the Bulldogs at Simonds Stadium.The Cats then round out their season against lowly Essendon, Richmond, Brisbane, and Melbourne in what shapes as a dream lead-in to the finals.Scott said his teams priority at the minute was rediscovering its best football, rather than aiming for a particular spot on the ladder.Weve shown that we have no right to consider ourselves a top-four team this year because were too inconsistent, Scott said.So if we can find the consistency and improve our game, even if we finish 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th, well be hard to beat.ddddddddddddWhere are we?

I think he is a very tough match-up forward, but you have to get the ball to him as well. ' ' '
