“Priyanka Chopra challenges Natalie Dormer for the Bantamweight Title”
Jokes aside, this is NOT meant to be a predatory post or incite anything, I’m just genuinely hoping to get clarification from someone with more knowledge. I know I’m one of the newer stables, but there are two even newer than me in QoA and FFC. If I was lost on this, I’m sure they could be too.
So I’ve only been here just under two years, and just now got into what I thought was position to be eligible for lineal Titles with ONE of my fighters. Reading the Championship Guidelines post and all the discussion around that, I had been under the (maybe misguided) impression that Title defenses needed to be realistically within the top 20 or so of the rankings. Now I totally understand that storylines can be fun, rankings aren’t final, etc. but I just happened to be a fan of Dormer and knew from previously looking her up when I first joined that she wasn’t extremely active with LMW these days. Looking her up again, I see that she’s ranked a staggering #87.
I rarely pay attention to all the Titles, but is this common? Is there really no hard rule whatsoever or a point where common sense takes precedent on how low ranked a fighter can get a Title shot? I know if I was in the top 20 of the Bantam rankings, I’d be completely bewildered lol. Can a Champion literally pick anyone to defend against? What is my incentive if I hold a Title to pick anyone in the top 50 if #87 is acceptable? Just trying to understand here, because I think it’s important for new managers to have the same understanding as old ones. If old managers know that anyone can be challenged and new managers like me, Queens and FFC assume they need to use top 10 or top 20, I could see this being an issue.
