Once a year in Abu Dhabi, with a few interim titles tossed in for good measure.
i want to like this post, but he needs a money fight for this to come true. like conor catch weight.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.
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.

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!
4 fights in 11 months . Mar 2021 - Feb 2022He’s been very active lately.
When he’s champ, people can’t duck him anymore. So that will probably also help.
Until he wins the belt. That’s what always happensThis will be his 5th fight in 15 months, he’s been relatively active tbf
I love my Dagestani brothers but damn do they make it hard to be a fan with their inactivity.
