Joe, interview with Dr. Mike Mew, he discovered MEWING, it is a habit that makes you more attractive (at the bone level) in about 3 years, it consists of pushing the tongue against the palate to expand it and thus your jaw is marked, Your upper jaw is advanced (avoiding a flat face) and your chin is advanced (because with your tongue you direct facial growth forward). His channel is called ORTHOTROPICS, there is a video that explains more details about this called "attractive face or not"

He technically did get a title shot and became interim champ but was stripped due to injury. Which was bullshit because it happened right after the mcgregor dolly/bus incident. Mcgregor should have been stripped at that point but they wanted to make the Mcgregor khabib fight. Mcgregor knocked like 3 fights off a fight card with the dolly incident and they reward him with a title shot. Meanwhile stripping tony who only was injured for a short while. While they let rob whittaker stay the champ for 3 damn years and only fighting like twice in that time.
