Loma dumps his belt to avoid mandatory

[powerpuncher]

And this is why I don’t take belts seriously. I never know who has what title because it means nothing to me

Exactly. It's the very fact fans think this means anything which is the problem. There's not a fighter in the modern era who hasn't been stripped, it's just the organisations have become more and more slick by creating "regular" and "diamond" and "franchise" and what not.

I remember back when the first diamond or super belt came out some years back. I thought it was cool until I realized that it wasn’t a special one time only belt. I assumed that it was made for a specific purpose.

Like I always say, the only reason I mention belts is to hope to make good fights. So I can give the excuse that fighter X needs to fight fighter Y because they both hold a belt. In reality, I just want them to fight and have no need for the belt.
