Is the UFC Heavyweight Title the Most Lineal title in All of MMA?

Henry vacated both FLW and BW.

TJ was stripped due to EPO.

Conor Vacated FW with no rematches for Aldo or Holloway.

Khabib has ditched Lightweight after unifying it with Conor.

GSP left Welterweight which was never unified because he never fought at WW again.

GSP and Bisping Ruined MW, one by ducking everyone and the other by vacating me

Jon Jones Vacated LHW.

As far as I’ve been following MMA.

Randy beat Tim, Brock beat Randy, Cain beat Brock, JDS beat cain, Cain beat JDS twice.

Werdum beat Cain.

Stipe beat Werdum.

Ngannou Beat Stipe.

Thats pretty damn Lineal.

Holy shit, I did some research and The UFC HW title is consistent and lineal back to the dark ages, before Zuffa.
The only belt that matters is the Saku belt.

Sakuraba lost it to Wanderlei -
Wanderlei lost it to Mark Hunt -
Mark Hunt lost it to Josh Barnett -
Barnett lost it to Cro-Cop -
Cro-Cop lost it to Gonzaga -
Gonzaga lost it to Randy -
Randy lost it to Brock Lesnar -
Brock lost it to Cain... And so on.

Ngannou holds the lineal Saku belt.
 
The only unbroken lineage UFC titles are the women's BW and SW titles.

HW isn't linear because Randy and Bas both vacated as champions and Mir was stripped after his accident.
 
Whenever I see discussion about lineal titles it reminds me of how the allegiance of the Elder Wand is passed in the Harry Potter stories. Don't worry, I already know I'm a dweeb.
