He holds simultaneous records for the second longest ever without a title defense at 350 days. And the longest ever without a title defense at 414 days (and counting).

He also holds the record for the whitest guy to dress like a 1970's Harlem pimp.

Did you say the same thing gwice, or did he break the record at 350, and has now put distance on it to 414?

As soon as I saw the title I knew exactly which records you were talking about.

Do you think he would have remained absent for so long if UFC actually paid people correctly? He had to leave the sport to make his biggest payday, which is just sad.

Conor has reached the point where he doesn't have to bend over and take it in the ass from the UFC. He doesn't have to fight for pennies on the dollar. He's got the UFC by the balls because he's their only legit PPV seller. When he comes back he's going to be big business - the absolute biggest business the UFC can do - and I gaurantee you he's in the process of negotiating a fair percentage for his services.

Good for him, he beat the game.

His belt at 145 has the second longest no defence while his current belt at 155 is the longest.
You transposed this but basically the logic is correct it's just he first won the 145 belt and hasn't defended it so that is the belt that is the longest without defending and the 155belt in which he won 2nd is the 2nd longest without defending it.

You have to give the UFC and McGregor credit. They picked great match ups and have avoided bad ones.

OP, are you referring to the longest time a Champion has gone from winning the title without defending it, or the longest time holding a belt without defending it period? It took the UFC over 828 days to strip Dominick Cruz of the Bantamweight title after he defended it against Mighty Mouse and then kept getting injured.

If it's the former, Frank Mir went 419 days before being stripped of the title after the first time he won it. So McGregor still has a few more days before he takes first place. 350 isn't third place though, it appears to be fifth. Matt Serra went 378 days from the time he beat GSP until the next time he fought when GSP won it back. Cain Velasquez went 385 days after his initial title defense before losing to JDS.

I’d guess being fit to fight in those days plays a factor? All those other guys were injured, Conor isnt

Christ I forgot about Cruz. Back then they actually hated doing interim titles.

I somehow missed this post but GREAT JOB man. Without fact checking and just going off memory you're probably right. Always love your post Chromium, always been a favorite poster of mine. Even when you correct me I'm still appreciative of your post.
