how is short notice defined? also some of those aren't for the title.

In my opinion you're wrong TS, Aspinall is the best HW in the UFC, and that includes Jones.

It says in the op title or notable fights, people seem to be overlooking that second part.

6. **Yoel Romero** at UFC 221, though he didn't win the title due to missing weight, he defeated Luke Rockhold.

8. **Jon Jones** at UFC 128, defeating Shogun Rua for the light-heavyweight title.
10. **Michael Bisping** at UFC 199, knocking out Luke Rockhold for the middleweight title

Some context for fans of nuance

Barao TJ 9 weeks doesn't feel like short notice.

Yoel rockhold, Yoel already in camp for another fight when he received 1 months notice.

DC Johnson , dC already in camp for another fight when he received 1 months notice.

Jones Shogun, month and a half notice.

Bisping Rockhold, 17 days notice aka the only real short notice title fight of the whole list.


The rest aren't title fights so meh

Aspinall is disadvantaged, no matter what people are saying. However if it's a brutal loss, no excuse then. If he wins, he wins on short notice which is impressive.

Leben Akiyama was amazing I remember watching it in a bar and losing my mind when Leben pulled off the sub

Good response, appreciate your input. The thread title was simply what I asked chat gpt.

Bisping v Rockhold was the truest last minute fight. Goes to show how difficult it is to win a title under these circumstances.

More than impressive, it'd be incredible
