The following is a MMA.tv message from Cindy Ortiz, a friend of UFC president Dana White.

"I just asked DW. He said the UFC did strip Sean of the title. He didn't feel the need to make an announcement about it.

The source of the "news" that he wasn't stripped is B.S.

Cindy"

As always, we'll let you know if anything official comes out to confirm the report, but for now this is a pretty legitimate source.
