If Jiri wins, it's his 1st title defense.

Jiri never actually lost the belt, so if he wins this fight then it's technically his 1st title defense.

Would this same concept be true if it were Conor?

That's not how that works, Mr. Metallic. Btw, I've seen you live twice and it sounded like shit.

Your false statement would have just been an opinion had you not included the word technically.



By definition, Jiri technically vacated the title, Jamahal Hill then won it and then also vacated the title and now Jiří Procházka will fight Alex Pereira for the Vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. If Jiri were to win, he would technically be a two time UFC Light Heavyweight Champion with no title defenses.

Basically > Technically
