In the upcoming week or two, I plan to research all lineal championships from the beginning of MMA up until now, starting with Flyweight. I wanted to post this announcement in an effort to get any type of brainstorming from our members on how to consider particular types of scenarios. The challenges are:
- Inception – Where does the championship start? Is it different for each weight division?
- Inactivity – Does a lineal championship “die” when the champion goes inactive or retires? Does a new fighter pick up the championship? How is this decided?
- Weight Divisions – Divisional info isn’t always available and sometimes weight classes change throughout time. Decisions will be made as to where the upper-limit barriers are.
These decisions and Flyweight.. coming soon.
