MW, LHW and HW title fights

Izzy vs Jan is early next year

Francis vs Stipe is suppose to be March

MW? See first line.

Don't know why it hasn't been announced.
 
Stipe vs francis 2 should happen in March ngannou in camp rn or so he says.
Jan vs Glover will happen in April as Jan is taking time off for his first child soon.
Whittaker said he also wants time off after fighting two top guys back to back.
Adesanya isn’t able to go back home to NZ since travel restrictions, so he can’t have a full camp yet.
 
Because Izzy who defends his belt twice, and moves up, and Jan who hasn't even defended are gonna have a "super fight" and log jam the whole title picture for those divisions..
I feel like you should have to defend the belt a certain amount of times to challenge to hold 2 at the same time, or else give up the MW belt and make a long term move to LHW..

Should be a minimum of 5 defenses. The only divisions that haven't had 5 defenses by the champion are HW, LW, and BW. In my opinion, specifically for these divisions, a champion would have to at least break the divisional record for defenses before moving up for a "super fight", with the exception of HW since they can't move up. In every other division, the divisional record is much higher than 5, so it really doesn't make sense to me for somebody to move up for a super fight until they at least hit 5. There's a top 10 for every division, if you've defended against at least half of those fighters, you can try to grab the belt above, but you should be forced to defend against top 5/10 fighters and earn your super fight. What's the point of a super fight? When a champion has been extremely dominant and has essentially wiped out their division of worthy challengers, so they look to the champion in the division above, right?

Wishful thinking, I know, but it would be nice if there was some fucking logical structure to this shit.
