IMO, what they should do is sign another solid LHW and have a 4 man tournament between Babalu, Tito, Lil Nog and whoever, their other LHW is over the course of 2-3 events and then name one of them the champ.
You also have to remember, Anderson Silva was MW champ after only beating Leben to get his shot at Franklin and Fedor only beat Sylvia in Affliction to get his HW championship from Wamma. It's not like it's highly unusual.
They're just looking for some solid talent with a big name and a former champion to build the organization. No Tito, shouldn't just be named champion if he beat Babalu, they should all have to earn it.

Agreed, some sort of tournament and/or some amount of time and more fights before a title fight would be better. I don't think they need to rush into having a championship fight until they have enough fighters to warrant such a designation.
In the case of Fedor it was appropriate, IMO, since he is considered by nearly everyone in the world to be the best HW. It's a little different in the case of Silva and Franklin. Franklin was the legitimate champion and Silva was a pretty damn impressive challenger coming in. Neither Babalu or Tito could be considered a legitimate LHW champion at this point. I could be wrong, but I think a few more fights should occur.
