The upcoming UFC 322 event is set to take place nine years after Conor McGregor’s historic achievement of holding two UFC titles at once. The event will see no current champions with multiple titles, marking a shift in the sport’s landscape.
McGregor’s feat in 2015 was a rare occurrence in the UFC, where a fighter could hold titles in different divisions. Since then, the organization has seen a decline in the number of fighters who have achieved this milestone. The absence of dual champions at UFC 322 highlights the changing dynamics of the sport, with younger fighters focusing on single-title dominance rather than multiple titles.
As the event approaches, fans and analysts are speculating on the reasons behind the trend. Some suggest that the increased competition and the strategic focus on reigning champions have made it more difficult for fighters to hold multiple belts. Others believe that the UFC’s decision to limit the number of titles a fighter can hold has contributed to this decline. Regardless of the cause, the upcoming event will serve as a reminder of McGregor’s historic achievement and the evolution of the sport.
