wrong.
i guarantee you that lots of fighters from other weightclasses could defeat other champions from different weightclasses. it's simply math. if given the opportunity, that can certainly take place.
look what jon jones just did. he beat gane to become the heavyweight champion. did he fight any contenders? no. could he lose to certain current heavyweight contenders? well, we don't know. why? because he hasn't fought any of them. you have to fight competition before you should be allowed to fight for the belt. why have contenders, if they don't have the chance to fight for the belt?
do you understand my logic, now?
That's not how the UFC works. Did McGregor deserve a title shot at lightweight to become double champ? Or a shot against Kabib? The UFC doesn't care about rankings or contenders when the money is right. Dana would sell his first born for the right price.
