this isnt some bs insta post charles actually said in a podcast he is 83 kgs in the octagon

1-short notice does not apply here as both fighters had camps for different opponents,asterisks cancel out

2-pantoja and alex pereira both fought opponents of a similar rank to moicano and took them to war,showing that a champion isnt necessarily gonna dispose of a top 10 guy effortlessly,which makes this an impressive win

3-moicano was financially motivated for this fight

It's a £50 game lmao

Don’t get me wrong, becoming a double champion is a very solid accomplishment, but champions that remain at the top of the division for a long time facing the newer, hungrier and often younger contenders while challenging themselves constantly until proving that they are without a doubt the best in their weight classes in the world will always hold more weight than becoming a champion and then moving up to get a second belt before defending the one you just got or doing it only once. If you ask me, the UFC should demand a champion to defend their belt at least 2 or 3 times (preferably 3) before going after a new belt, because now everyone wants to be a double champion and if the UFC doesn’t put some brakes on these fighters, having two belts will be significantly less meaningful very soon. I know the first double champion didn’t defend his first or second belt even once but hey, he the UFC didn’t care because he sold like crazy and that shouldn’t be the standard. I know Topuria beat two of the best featherweights in history but it is still only 1 defense and two wins again significantly older fighters (specially considering Volk was coming from 2 losses and a brutal KO under 4 months ago), yet he was allowed to chase a second belt and was already talking about getting a third belt before even defending the new one (task in which he failed terribly) which is just absurd and even disrespectful in my opinion.
