when a champion loses

[binny]

Do they automatically always go to the #1 contender spot? i've been watching that recently and it seems to be the case. why? I know I shouldn't care about rankings to begin with but do people see any across the board logic in this practice?

 

[mmafan559]

There is no logic.

i just hope luke doesnt get an immediate rematch off that AWFUL performance

 

[sutherland]

As long as the challenger is #1 contender it makes sense, close fight or if it was a dominant champ OT makes complete sense. What gets me is how once the fight is made the challenger always gains a couple ranks if no given the #1 spot for no reason

Finally the UFC is falling back into regular title shots. These immediate rematches were starting to scare me.

It's weidman''s division

 

[Tsar]

hendo vs. bisping for the title
weidman vs. rockhold for #1 contender

^^^not sure if i'm serious or not, but i wouldn't be disapointed!
