message: 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)

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)

Middleweight champion Robert Whitaker beat Yoel Romero again June 9, 2018 http://www.ufc.com/fighter/robert-whittaker/
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.
:The fight was a non-title bout as Yoel Romero missed weight. It was only by 0.2 pounds but it made him ineligible to win the title, as per this link: https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianmazique/2018/06/08/ufc-225-yoel-romero-misses-weight-again-and-main-event-is-in-jeopardy/#38ca7d661352 TheNeutroniumAlchemist (talk) 04:13, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: Honestly I'm starting to have some doubts. Apparently his official nationality is Spanish as Spain doesn't allow dual citizenship for Georgian citizens. The fact that he wears a Georgia kit and has the flag listed during broadcast and some media doesn't necessarily mean he's Georgian (remember that Cain Velasquez is American but used to represent Mexico in his fight kits)... Therefore I believe that once the matter of his nationality is solved (WP:DRN#Ilia Topuria), we should decide it. At the moment I'm leaning towards changing him to Spanish.

message: 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?
