3. A Champion that doesn't defend in that weight class in 2 years vacates the title.
It doesn't have to be that long, I just think its a suffucant amount of time. If a fighter hasn't fought at that weight for 2 years its more than likely they won't be back... I think after 1 year of not defending if a fight between the #1 & #2 is made then we could vote to see if that fight should be considered as a championship fight. If in 2 years of not defending then the title becomes vacant...
But would'nt a meeting of 1 and 2 constitute a previous consideration,or just establish a mandatory challenger.If a guy wins in year one,he can also sit on the sideline hoping the Champ does the same.Just might become blurred as to what actually determines a Championship fight with the vote??Dont mind me,off for three days and indulging in liquids...ahem
What I mean is that once a champion is established he must defend his title at least once a year from the date he won it. Every fight at that weight would be considered at defense for him. If he goes over that year period without defending (due to inactivity or fighting at other weights, not injury) then if the #1 & #2 contenders sign to fight sometime in the next 12 months following then it could qualify as fight to crown a new champion.
