If Conor is stripped as the tony vs khabib fight starts, does tony get a belt even if he loses?

[Ragnus]

If Tony was to be finished by khabib in 7minutes, would Tony be champion for 7minutes and still receive a belt after the fight?

 

[BoD 2.0]

No.

no tony already has an interim belt. once the first punch is thrown that fight will be for the undisputed lightweight title and the winner will get that belt.

 

[Ragnus]

No.

If the champion is stripped the interim belt holder is given another belt, so wouldn't he need to be given another belt?

you have to always have an undisputed champion, so technically tony will be the undisputed champion as soon as the fight starts

Not sure how that works actually. Has Whitaker been given another belt?

well its a legit question, this is a messed up predicament they have made because they need an undisputed champion, so as soon as the fight starts tony has to be upgraded to undisputed champpion

not even just that you won't just call tony the former interim champion if he loses he will be called the former champion.

 

[Ragnus]

also if tony win's it would be his first title defence

What a shit show the UFC has created lol

 

[yekmurat]

What language is this thread?

 

[Dave Poodle]

Technically i suppose you're right. Would probably be a mistake to celebrate right as Khabib's charging at him though.

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

If Conor is stripped before the fight, then yes, Tony will be made the official champion. But if he loses to Khabib, then his title goes around Khabib's waist and Tony goes home with nothing. He would not be given another belt to take home as a consolation prize. The only way he leaves with a belt, be it the 'real' one or the Interim one, is he defeats Khabib.

Get it now? I know this must all be pretty complicated for you.
