Limit on Fighting for Title

No. I think the second best fighter in the division should fight the best.

Rematch limits we can talk though...
 
If its not against the same guy a perennial top 5 guy could get 6 title shots for all I care... Urijah Faber deserved his many title shots
 
Two losses the the same champ unless competitive.

As long as you win fights after the first loss.
 
They should have more rules for title holders, if that cost more so be it. Its a balance between a sport and entertainment but once fighters start thinking they can just not fight contenders and hang out for a year+ it becomes theater. Make it more economically beneficial to be fighting as a defending champ which gets better as the defenses increase. If anything, stop letting fighters and fans think they have any control who the champ fights, its annoying and a waste of time/resources plus its perfect for bots to abuse and exploit.
 
If someone keeps beating everyone but the champ, they deserve a title shot IMO. If they do that cycle several times, so be it.
 
No. Generally speaking it takes so much to earn a shot within a division most can't earn a second title shot and eventually get passed by as younger and hungrier challengers show up. Now we have the issue of challengers being more popular than the champs so they're getting multiple shots without earning them.
