    Nah we have seen the likes of Wilder KOing guys who's giving up over 20lbs in weight and then Usyk boxing circle around guys much heavier and taller. Not required.

    2 belts per division is what it should be. I like the idea of unification fights while both titles still hold prestige

    I think the Bridgerweight model of 2 belts with 2 possible interims as a "soft 4 belt system" could be a workable one. But theres 2 bodies making the decisions instead of 4 with an interim being the product of something 1 of those 2 champs did wrong. Can call it the 2xUFC model.

    Not that the model is working at Bridgerweight but that has more to do with it being Bridgerweight. I like the model and think it could work at the trad weight classes well.

    There should be a "wait" limit, because currently that's what most of the division seems to be doing.
