Did some research on current champions, and here's some interesting facts:

• 5 current title holders have not yet defended (Jones, Aspinal, DDP, Tapuria, Pennington). None these currently has fight scheduled either.
• Current longest reigning champion is Leon Edwards. Won the WW belt on August of 2022 (21 months). Second is Islam at 19 months, then Jones at 14 months.
• There's only 1 title defense currently scheduled, which is Islam vs Poirier in June.
• Most defenses is Zhang at 3, which counts her first title run. Leon, Islam, and Pantoja each have 2.
• Longest currently inactive is Jones, who is injured at 14 months. Next is Grasso at 8 months, then Islam at 7 months, and Aspinal at 6 months.

As a TUF noob, I remember the days when UFC champions would fight 2 to 3 times a year, fight all worthy contenders and not clamoring for immediate title shot in a new weight class as soon as they won a title...
