I'm leaning towards cutting champions some slack. They're usually pretty hungry and active on their way to the belt, and after that they're only fighting the best in the world. Even though he only fought once in 2023 and once in 2021, with 7 fights in 3.5 years he's averaged about 6 months between fights. That's normal for champs. I'm not mad yet.
