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.

Yeah I think that two fighters UFC had no interest in keeping, one of which has only beaten 1 fighter since 06, being named World LHW champion (according to WAMMA) just seems odd. I'm all for the fight, but the title would seem out there a little. Would rather see Lil Nog fight for the title before Tito.
