Longest reigning champs of their respective weight class. And Cejudo (congrats to him) wins a razor close decision (maybe deserved though) and then calls the shots against who he "wants" to defend the title (Dillashaw)?
And who needs Lesnar vs Cormier? Miocic more than deserves a rematch as the longest reigning HW champ in the history of the UFC.
It's clear to me that pretty much all belts are some kind of meaningless these days if popularity contests decide who keeps the title. No wonder Ortega said he doesn't wanna fight for some (meaningless) interim title, only for the real one. Basically Mr. White decides who is champ. Let's be honest, if White calls Robbie Lawler tomorrow and tells him he is the new reinstated welterweight champ, it would exactly work that way. It is just engraved into the system these days.
