The meaning of the belt!! That's what there is to lose.
Diaz does NOT deserve a title shot.
Tony IS the Interim Champion, he has the most wins in the division, fought for the strap and WON.
Diaz hasn't fought anyone since his loss to Mac, why does he deserve a shot before Khabib or Tony?
Khabib has had one issue after another. Injuries, missing weight and missed his opportunity to fight Tony . He's just trolling trying to get fan and media attention. He knows this would NEVER happen.
If anything the only way to have all four fight would be Conor vs Tony for Undisputed LW Champion. Then a top contender fight possibly with Khabib vs Nate.
I just don't get your thinking on this. May not be your idea but you like and are promoting it. What is the point of winning fights, making weight, being active, moving up the ladder if it all means nothing? This is the only platform fighters have to get a chance to fight for a belt and possibly make bank. If you take that away and just put fan favs matched together for titles not based on anything but popularity what have titles and belts? They're wouldn't mean shit. If a Champion isn't facing the best in their divison it's all for nothing, a slippery slope .
Die hard fans are the ones there card after card ,not just when the BIG fight cones along. Piss them off too much they stop watching ,then no new future big stars have a platform for people to see them fight, watch them and talk about them. The sport will fail. This has already started to happen the last year or so. PPVs are lower than ever for non Superstar headlined cards ( lower than pre TUF 1 era) . The UFC has to bring back continuity to the belts, stop nonsense like this if they want to have a real continuing fan base while growing.
Conor won't maintain the company forever. Like Ronda before him or Brock before her. Those fans will watch while they win and leave when they retire.
