Yeah but that doesnt make him a 9 time champion? He won the title twice and made 7 defences. Evander Holyfield is a 4 time Heavyweight world champ. His made umpteen defences of his titles. What would that make him?
I don't really consider Evander a 4 time champion myself, but I agree with your point completely. The only rational I can come up with is that the UFC used to be a tournament with a championship awarded at the end. Royce Gracie won tournaments 1,2,and 4; and is a 3 time champion. Times have changed, but the UFC is still numbering its events. Maybe they are saying Hughs won 9 events. I agree with calling anyone who won more than one tournament a multiple times champion. I agree with you on Hughs. He was making defenses.
Agreed. I dont really consider Holy a 4 time champ as all he did was win an alphabet belt. But for Hughes to call himself a 9 time champ makes no sense.
