For what it's worth, this might be the future for ufc champions. It might be the way to play it.
The champion can extend their title reign by:
-pressuring challengers to fight on short notice, while champ waits patiently and challenges them at just the right time
-champ can wait for top contenders to pick each other off
-champ can go up for a 2nd belt to further pressure the division to killing itself off
We've already had other champs use these tactics (woodley, adesanya, o'malley) so it's going to be picked up more often
