Julio Cortez/Associated Press

UFC President Dana White did not say whether Conor McGregor would be stripped of the lightweight championship. 

Per ESPN.com's Brett Okamoto, White told reporters at TD Garden on Friday that the winner of the fight between Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 on April 7 in Brooklyn, New York, would be the "undisputed" UFC lightweight champion.                 

However, White never brought up taking away the title from McGregor. 

"I have no update [on McGregor]," White said. "The winner of this fight will be the champion."
