1) Defending your title is hard because you always fight the #1 contender who trained his ass off in a grueling 4 months fight camp in order to take your head off and get your belt.
No, you don't always get the #1 contender.
2) It's 5 rounds so it's always the hardest fight of your life
It CAN be 5 rounds. Fights don't always go the distance.
3) Anything can happen (ask GSP against Serra or Rockhold against Bisping) so every opponent has to be taken seriously because a flash KO happens easily
That goes for every fight, not just title defenses.
4) You have to deal with the pressure of being the title holder, sometimes in your hometown. You have everything to lose while the other guy have everything to win. You are the hunted, and it's not an easy status in every competitive sport in general
This is true.
5) You face different styles, not only different fighters. Styles make fights, and what make Anderson Silva or GSP consecutive titles impressive is that they had to eventually deal with unfavorable match ups.
How come Poatan still only has fought strikers though? But for long streaks as a champI guess that's true and a valid point
6) You have to be durable. Defending your belt for many years is impressive because as the sport is evolving, so are your opponents. As a champion, you're most likely around +30 and you keep getting older/injured while young wolves are after you
Yeah, but that goes for any long winning streak, or just fighting for a long time, not just when you're a champ.
it just really depends on who you are fighting when you go to a different weight class, and how many title defenses (and against whom) you compare it with.This is what defending your title will always be more impressive than a quick change of division in order to get another belt. Take notes, Islam, Pereira, Khabib, Conor etc...
It also depends on what you do afterwards when you change divisions and get a belt.
So at the end of the day, you shouldn't make such broad generalisations, but just look at it on a case-by-case basis.
