FFS if you lose the belt it’s the next guys shot. Unless it’s a controversial stoppage or no contest, that’s it. It’s insulting to other contenders and fans not getting other match ups. UFC has made such a habit of this it’s almost a given now.

It’s killing the sport. Kamaru Usman fought the same guys like 7 times. Glover never even defended his belt and they wanted to run it back with Jiri

I used to like the old formula.
Lose the belt, win your next two fights, and then you get a chance to win it back.

Another thing that sucks about it is that if it ends up with some sort of wonky ending, then you have to fucking do it again.
ISRAIL SHOULD FIGHT ANOTHER CONTENDER FIRST LIKE THEY DO IN BOXING [MOST OF THE TIME]

Agreed. Although, I remember questioning the consecutive Sylvia Arlovski fights. It just seemed like a waste.
They didn’t even need to do Jones Vs DC more then once.

It’s cause when they put everyone in Reebok bullshit and elevated Dana’s profile above the actual fighters, the only recognizable names are the champions.

I think it had more to do with the roster increasing exponentially (that the only names are the champions).
That and that everytime someone wins a fight every Twitter/insta post is “OMG the most dominant champ in history 
”
I really don’t think Dana’s profile relative to the fighters is bigger than it was in 2008
