I think at this point it's probably clear that DC isn't coming back down to 205. If he came to fight anyone, at this point it would be Gustafsson (although I don't think he deserves a shot), and DC clearly said he won't be fighting Gus again.
Assuming this is the case, I'm sure DC will let the UFC know of his decision. Therefore I would ask: Is the LHW title worth more vacated or in DCs hands (undefended)??
I would argue having DC as the "champ champ" would add to the build-up of DC vs Lesnar, and could possibly make the UFC more money as a marketing tool. Certainly vacating the LHW title would allow the UFC another event headline fight, but they will likely be able to do an interim LHW title fight even if DC doesn't vacate the title.
I just want to be clear that I don't think DC will be the one to decide to vacate or not. I think the UFC might decide the title is worth more in his hands, to hype DC vs Lesnar. Thoughts?
