Conor McGregor Is Not The "Real Champ"

[Franc Mittelo]

A more appropriate label is 'Inactive Champ.' The Inactive Champ and the Interim Champ both have a case for the title, so it makes no sense to call either one "the real champ."

The Interim Champ, ideally, should only exist when the current champ becomes inactive, and thus, the more appropriate label for a current champ who becomes inactive is "Inactive champ."

Just saying.

Cool story bro

The UFC champ is whoever the UFC gives the belt to. If they gave me the belt and called me champ, I'd be the real champ. It's a private entertainment company, not a sport.

Not a story. Just an argument. LOL

He was gifted TS by Dana after being dominated and finished by gatekeeper Diaz.. The ran away from undefeated Khabib or nearly so Tony , both who paid their dues with record setting LW win streaks He's a joke to me.

Fair enough. The UFC by their own admission have already stated this.

However, we still find ourselves in situations where are there 2 champions in the division. My argument is that people in the MMA media, like Danny Segura, need to stop with the "real champ" labels. He sounds like the typical Sherdogger whenever I hear say that. LOL

The more appropriate labels are Inactive Champ vs Interim Champ.

Not really a Conor thread. He is just the best example for the real argument, which is, the more appropriate labels in cases of 2 champions is (1) Interim Champ (because he is the most recent winner) and (2) Inactive Champ (self-explanatory).

Well nobody beat him at FW to take his title and he is still the LW champ regardless how long hes been inactive. To be the champ you have to BEAT the champ. I dont think hes the best fighter at LW but hes still the champ until hes beat.

Cool.

Example you say?
OK, then you can give another example of "inactive champ" just to prove that you're not just a Conoir hater.

I'm waiting. Who is another "inactive champ" according to your definition?

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Never defended a belt so he's never really been a champion.

His belts are straight up UFC advertising props at this point

 

[Kobra420]

The most inactive Champ, Champ, Champ, Champ, in MMA History.
Isn't Conor fucking awesome?

[tony220jdm]

If Rose can beat JJ again (which would be badass) or defend the sw belt then she can solidify this claim as an actual champion.

Matt Hughes and many others have all said....You aren't a real champion until you defend your belt.

Its not even unreasonable. Just have to deal with it.

Conor is the standard in the UFC. If I am going to make an argument, and a Conor example applies, he is the fighter I am going to use. It is really simple.

It has nothing to do with hate. When we have arguments about fighter pay, I congratulate Conor McGregor for pushing the envelope, again, because he is the standard in that context.

I have trace amounts of hate. I try as best as I can to base my opinions on what is known. I am willing to reevaluate my opinion, when presented with knew knowledge. My opinions are fluid.

This " true champ " " real champ " argument is absurd.

If you hold the title, you are a champ and, If you don't, you are not a champ. It seems, this simple concept is quite difficult for few shertards to understand.

This is not true.
