If Makhachev wins…

1-2x a year

then he will vacate for usman nurmagomedov. when he comes over from bellator
 
He'll get some surgery that requires him to be out a year, come back and defend once against somebody. Ali will proceed to sporadically tweet trash talk on his behalf over the next 8 months, then he'll retire and you guys will make threads asking if he's the 2nd best LW of all time.

i want to like this post, but he needs a money fight for this to come true. like conor catch weight.
 
3 times a year. Islam stated he won't sit on it.
 
How many times does he fight a year as champ? I feel like he’s not the most active guy already, could stagnate LW worse than it already is.

Once a year in Abu Dhabi, with a few interim titles tossed in for good measure.

Divisions don't go stagnant in the Endeavor WME IMG era of UFC :)
Uncle Dana owes ESPN 40 cards a year and each PPV (except Colby-Jorge and Nate-Khamzat) has to have 2 title fights, so if Makhachev or Oliveira can't defend, Ari and Hunter make Gaethje vs Poirier vs Chandler triple threat match for the interim US light weight belt of the world. Choo choo mazefaka!

I am too lazy to check, but have all PPV's this year had 2 title fights on each PPV?

EDIT: UFC 279 didn't have a single title fight. 278 only had 1 title fight.
 
Lots of men will bathe together and post pics on Instagram?
 
Islam's been pretty active as of late, I feel like all this inactivity talk is just an early coping mechanism for most of you. If you believe sherdoggers you'd think Islam doesn't fight outside of Abu Dhabi but the reality is only one of his last four fights have taken place there.

But you know, let’s not let the facts get in the way of a good Islam hate narrative

I love my Dagestani brothers but damn do they make it hard to be a fan with their inactivity.
