I think it would be neat to also state the method, round, and time for each belt transfer and defense. The format could be the same as in the results tables on event pages. Thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.195.23.17 ( talk) 19:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

@ Dr Lecter: Here's my source: the MMA Beat on YouTube. It occurs at 30min 43sec. Jon Jones has not been stripped of his interim title. Ariel Helwani says Dana confirmed the fact and this was just Thursday, the 6th of October. Surely you can understand my frustration with you. Chris Troutman ( talk) 03:47, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
@ Chris Troutman: Well firstly your source does not work. Mine does, ( http://www.ufc.com/rankings?id= , not from youtube but the UFC itself - it shows JJ is not even on the roster. Surely you can understand my frustration, when I provide a primary source yet you continue to make silly assertions. You do not have to be stripped of an IT to lose it. JJ failed to compete while Daniel Cormier showed up ready to unify the belt. The UFC shows in in my source (the offical fighter rankings) that Jose Aldo is the interim champion for Featherweight, but it does not say JJ is the interim champion for LightHeavyweight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Lecter ( talk • contribs)

Shouldn't the Light heavy weight Championship table show DC having an uninterrupted reign, with a note explaining the recent No contest. This would removeJon Jones 2nd title reign as he didn't officially win the title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.128.181.110 ( talk) 01:41, 14 September 2017 (UTC) 74.128.181.110

I think we should show Jon having a 2nd title reign. this is no different than when josh barnett had a heavyweight reign but was then stripped of the title for testing positive for steroids. Only with this case we should add a 2nd reign (or extended 1st reign) for DC with a note saying he was promoted to champion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.219.183.64 ( talk) 14:11, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Middleweight champion Robert Whitaker beat Yoel Romero again June 9, 2018 [1]
Is it because he won the interim title against him? But in the other tables like in the case of max holloway it states the he defended against jose aldo on their second fight, same applies for Robert Whitaker. It should state that he defended the title as undisputed champion.

He lives in New Zealand, but he was born in Nigeria. Did you not even watch the fights? Even on the UFC broadcast, they had the Nigerian flag next to Israel's name.

There has recently been a dispute over what flag(s) should be shown beside each fighter's name. I had thought that the flag represented the fighter's nationality - i.e., citizenship. But now user Ty.54 claims that "The flag represents where the fighter is born. It does not represent their nationality or ethnicity. This is not debatable." Sorry, but unless there is an explicit Wikipedia policy that describes this (and perhaps even then), then this certainly is "debatable". Where (if anywhere) is the Wikipedia policy/guideline that covers this? Ross Finlayson ( talk) 20:48, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
Neither of these points are relevant here. Both fighters were born in Nigeria so the Nigerian flag will be used in this list. Again, even the UFC associates Israel with the Nigerian flag. Watch any video regarding the UFC and their new legacy belts on Yountube, after Israel's victory the UFC added the Nigerian flag to the Middleweight title because Israel was born in Nigeria NOT New Zealand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:240:10B:CC95:54C2:6E0E:4134:281E ( talk) 13:55, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
I understand the question you are asking regarding this list specifically. You are asking what the flags specifically represent, e.g. place of birth, nationality, ethnicity, citizenship. I believe the flag next to each fighters name should be the same flag as the one associated with that fighter on the official UFC broadcast during that fighters introduction.

The BMF thing was not a real championship so should not be treated as if it was. NEDOCHAN ( talk) 16:55, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
@ NEDOCHAN, Platonic Love, and Gilbert.JW:. Greetings. I was invited to comment and here is my take.
@ NEDOCHAN, Platonic Love, Gilbert.JW, and Rockchalk717: I do understand Rockchalk717, NEDOCHAN and Gilbert.JW comments. However, the List of UFC champions is all about UFC events and not other mma organisation events or List of current mixed martial arts champions. This means anything about "UFC" championships, rightfully should be listed there if independent, reliable sources can be found which BMF title bout have plenty of coverage. This BMF championship belt is MMA fight. It is not a sanction championship belt but it is a symbolic championship belt for UFC as we knew that UFC filed three trademarks for "'BADDEST MOTHERFUCKER" and one of them is to use to name the "BMF championship belt" - see [ https://www.mmamania.com/2019/9/18/20871079/midnight-mania-trademarked-bmf-diaz-masvidal-ufc-244 here. If we allow and agree TUF winner to be listed in List of UFC champions (by the way the winner are not champions of the weight class division and it is not a weight class tournaments like other mma organisations. Although it plays a huge and important part in UFC where it literally save UFC from bankruptcy, it is a "reality TV show") then BMF should be listed and a note also can be put to state it is a symbolic belt. If not, as per consistently, both TUF and BMF should be removed from List of UFC champions page which I think it is more suited and fitted as per the article name ( List of UFC champions) which is the reason why the page was created. Thank you. Cassiopeia( talk) 09:23, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
@ Gilbert.JW:, As per the article name ( List of UFC champions), it would be more fitting for TUF and BMF to be excluded since TUF is a "reality show and not a standard weight class tournament and BMF is a symoblic belt. If TUF is includeded then BMF should be also included and we would put a note section in the table as per ground of consistency. Hope this is clear. Cassiopeia( talk) 11:23, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello gents the issues that Im writing to you about seems to be bothering quite a few editors on Wikipedia, it is in regards to vandalism of article /info/en/?search=Jorge_Masvidal and just the treatment of the BMF title in general. Myself and many other have tried to add his recent accolades of winning the BMF title against Nate Diaz last year ref: https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/28096549/jorge-masvidal-bmf-title-win-ufc-244-espn+ . But because fans of Nate Diaz who either believe that it was not a real win (because of the TKO via cut) they have constantly changed the referenced info on his page usually with Anon accounts(Both in his intro paragraph were is stated he was the inaugural BMF Champion and in his fight record notes section where it states that he won the BMF title) whatever their reasons Jorge won the BMF title that night regardless of what the ref did. looking into it someone seems to have tried to do what Im doing already but they have not corrected top paragraph and refer to it in fight notes as symbolic ufc belt(terrible wording could even say symbolic BMF Championship if you had to put the word in there). it is a symbolic belt(like all other belts) its more like the return of the old Super fight Championship were they literally fought to see who was the baddest in the organization /info/en/?search=List_of_UFC_champions#Superfight_Championship_(defunct) . i would say the BMF title should be just as regarded as other belts like grand prix/tournament belts. Don't know why it has to be down played the ufc made a big deal out of it they say its important doesn't that make it important, its a sanctioned belt its not like Saku belt from Pride fc or Stephen Thompson's Nicest Mofo title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsEXjBDM7n8 (made by coaches or fighters) i feel like this page could be more accurately edited and that the BMF title should get a section on wikipedia or atleast subsection in the now defunct Superfight Championship section. any input u could give maybe helpful Tsims23 ( talk) 06:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Could we consider adding the following to this article, under "BMF Title"?
After UFC 241, Nate Diaz proclaimed himself as the “baddest motherfucker in the game”. Shortly after, Dana White announced a welterweight matchup between Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. Leading up to this fight, Dana White informed media outlets that the Diaz-Masvidal matchup would be for the title of “Baddest Mother Fucker”, and a symbolic UFC title belt was created to be awarded to the winner of this matchup. The title belt, embossed with “BMF”, was later presented to the winner of this fight by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Dana White clarified that this symbolic title belt may only be defended if the belt’s owner agrees to do so.
Jorge Masvidal defeated Nate Diaz for the inaugural title Baddest Mother Fucker "BMF", on November 2, 2019 in Madison Square Garden, New York City at UFC 244. [1]

I think the table for longest combined reigns should somehow differentiate between people like Nunes and Couture. Just looking at the table it's not clear Nunes held/holds two titles at the same time while Coutures five reigns were discrete. The Multi-division champions table already exists and should be refered to. One solution is a second foot note, another adding to the intro text ("The following is a list [...]"). Not sure about the wording. -- 2001:4DD1:C7E7:0:548C:E6A9:93E7:2F51 ( talk) 11:59, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
I believe the minimum to be shown on the most wins in title bouts section should be moved up from 4 wins to 3 wins. I also believe the minimum for most consecutive title defenses should be moved from 3 defenses to 4 defenses. The tables are starting to get cluttered and title defenses/title wins are becoming more common place. It will have to be done at some point because the list is continuing to grow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.57.127.11 ( talk) 13:49, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

The Korean Zombie article's displayed name. @
Rcpilot9:, I've seen your edit, but
189.59.112.202 is in fact right. See
WP:NCKO about Korean naming conventions. The section about
Name order states that: "Unless the subject is known to prefer otherwise, family name should be written first."
. Is there a source claiming that Jung himself prefers to be called "Chan Sung Jung" and not "Jung Chan-sung", as even stated in his article?

Leon was born in Jamaica but his title is now counting for England, do the country flags on this page Represent what Fighters represent in UFC ? as in when they do their walkout and screen shows the flag they choose to represent in the Octagon(which would make sense), or where they were born?
For example, if Ilia Topuria wins, will the title count for Georgia (The country he represents in UFC, and shows on the screen during the walkout), Germany (Country where he was Born), or Spain(Country where he trains at).
Similarly for Khamzat Chimaev, would it be Russia where he was born, or Sweden which he officially represents in UFC and it's also where he trains at. This is not very consistend on List of UFC fighters page Bashiachukaa ( talk) 06:34, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
The flag that is officially shown on the UFC broadcast that accompanies the fighter's stats should be the flag that is portrayed on this list. TY. 54 ( talk) 13:13, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

I noticed for list of champions by nationality you only have Ilia down as a Georgian, when in reality he's a citizen of both Spain and Georgia and represents both countries. He was born in neither, but obviously we don't mark him down as a German for being born in Germany. So if you count him as a Georgian, assumingly due to him representing Georgia, and being a citizen there, then he should also be listed as Spanish since he trains out of Spain, lives in Spain, is a Spanish citizen, and represents Spain. Unless there's a policy I'm missing? Weplist ( talk) 02:04, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
It has since been defended by Gaethje. http://ufcstats.com/event-details/6750e338922a099d Stats page does not list it as a legitimate title so stats for "title fights" should not count towards title fight records. However, on UFC's broadcast like UFC 300, it noted Holloway's finish of Gaethje was the latest finish in any title fight history in UFC. Also, weeks ago, they wrote that Gaethje had two title fight wins counting his Interim Lightweight title win against Ferguson and the BMF. It's conflicting. It does not count on the UFC/Records/Stats website but the broadcasts sometimes refer to it as a title. How should it reflect on stats? Go by the official UFC website?
Since there have been 3 holders of BMF title, should it be noted on this page? Marty2Hotty ( talk) 01:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello gents the issues that Im writing to you about seems to be bothering quite a few editors on Wikipedia, it is in regards to vandalism of article /info/en/?search=Jorge_Masvidal and just the treatment of the BMF title in general. Myself and many other have tried to add his recent accolades of winning the BMF title against Nate Diaz last year ref: https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/28096549/jorge-masvidal-bmf-title-win-ufc-244-espn+ . But because fans of Nate Diaz who either believe that it was not a real win (because of the TKO via cut) they have constantly changed the referenced info on his page usually with Anon accounts(Both in his intro paragraph were is stated he was the inaugural BMF Champion and in his fight record notes section where it states that he won the BMF title) whatever their reasons Jorge won the BMF title that night regardless of what the ref did. looking into it someone seems to have tried to do what Im doing already but they have not corrected top paragraph and refer to it in fight notes as symbolic ufc belt(terrible wording could even say symbolic BMF Championship if you had to put the word in there). it is a symbolic belt(like all other belts) its more like the return of the old Super fight Championship were they literally fought to see who was the baddest in the organization /info/en/?search=List_of_UFC_champions#Superfight_Championship_(defunct) . i would say the BMF title should be just as regarded as other belts like grand prix/tournament belts. Don't know why it has to be down played the ufc made a big deal out of it they say its important doesn't that make it important, its a sanctioned belt its not like Saku belt from Pride fc or Stephen Thompson's Nicest Mofo title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsEXjBDM7n8 (made by coaches or fighters) i feel like this page could be more accurately edited and that the BMF title should get a section on wikipedia or atleast subsection in the now defunct Superfight Championship section. any input u could give maybe helpful Tsims23 ( talk) 06:00, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
Could we consider adding the following to this article, under "BMF Title"?
After UFC 241, Nate Diaz proclaimed himself as the “baddest motherfucker in the game”. Shortly after, Dana White announced a welterweight matchup between Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. Leading up to this fight, Dana White informed media outlets that the Diaz-Masvidal matchup would be for the title of “Baddest Mother Fucker”, and a symbolic UFC title belt was created to be awarded to the winner of this matchup. The title belt, embossed with “BMF”, was later presented to the winner of this fight by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Dana White clarified that this symbolic title belt may only be defended if the belt’s owner agrees to do so.
Jorge Masvidal defeated Nate Diaz for the inaugural title Baddest Mother Fucker "BMF", on November 2, 2019 in Madison Square Garden, New York City at UFC 244. [1]

I think that incumbent interim champions should
[1] be on the
Current champions list, but @
Belevalo: seems to disagree
[2].
@
Cassiopeia: I would like to have your input on the matter and the style of Belevalo's edit summery. anyone else is more than welcome to comment.

I think the table for longest combined reigns should somehow differentiate between people like Nunes and Couture. Just looking at the table it's not clear Nunes held/holds two titles at the same time while Coutures five reigns were discrete. The Multi-division champions table already exists and should be refered to. One solution is a second foot note, another adding to the intro text ("The following is a list [...]"). Not sure about the wording. -- 2001:4DD1:C7E7:0:548C:E6A9:93E7:2F51 ( talk) 11:59, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
I believe the minimum to be shown on the most wins in title bouts section should be moved up from 4 wins to 3 wins. I also believe the minimum for most consecutive title defenses should be moved from 3 defenses to 4 defenses. The tables are starting to get cluttered and title defenses/title wins are becoming more common place. It will have to be done at some point because the list is continuing to grow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.57.127.11 ( talk) 13:49, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
This discussion is for the purpose of preventing an edit war regarding the subject of
The Korean Zombie article's displayed name. @
Rcpilot9:, I've seen your edit, but
189.59.112.202 is in fact right. See
WP:NCKO about Korean naming conventions. The section about
Name order states that: "Unless the subject is known to prefer otherwise, family name should be written first."
. Is there a source claiming that Jung himself prefers to be called "Chan Sung Jung" and not "Jung Chan-sung", as even stated in his article?

Leon was born in Jamaica but his title is now counting for England, do the country flags on this page Represent what Fighters represent in UFC ? as in when they do their walkout and screen shows the flag they choose to represent in the Octagon(which would make sense), or where they were born?
For example, if Ilia Topuria wins, will the title count for Georgia (The country he represents in UFC, and shows on the screen during the walkout), Germany (Country where he was Born), or Spain(Country where he trains at).
Similarly for Khamzat Chimaev, would it be Russia where he was born, or Sweden which he officially represents in UFC and it's also where he trains at. This is not very consistend on List of UFC fighters page Bashiachukaa ( talk) 06:34, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
The flag that is officially shown on the UFC broadcast that accompanies the fighter's stats should be the flag that is portrayed on this list. TY. 54 ( talk) 13:13, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

I noticed for list of champions by nationality you only have Ilia down as a Georgian, when in reality he's a citizen of both Spain and Georgia and represents both countries. He was born in neither, but obviously we don't mark him down as a German for being born in Germany. So if you count him as a Georgian, assumingly due to him representing Georgia, and being a citizen there, then he should also be listed as Spanish since he trains out of Spain, lives in Spain, is a Spanish citizen, and represents Spain. Unless there's a policy I'm missing? Weplist ( talk) 02:04, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
It has since been defended by Gaethje. http://ufcstats.com/event-details/6750e338922a099d Stats page does not list it as a legitimate title so stats for "title fights" should not count towards title fight records. However, on UFC's broadcast like UFC 300, it noted Holloway's finish of Gaethje was the latest finish in any title fight history in UFC. Also, weeks ago, they wrote that Gaethje had two title fight wins counting his Interim Lightweight title win against Ferguson and the BMF. It's conflicting. It does not count on the UFC/Records/Stats website but the broadcasts sometimes refer to it as a title. How should it reflect on stats? Go by the official UFC website?
Since there have been 3 holders of BMF title, should it be noted on this page? Marty2Hotty ( talk) 01:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
