That’s the point. There was no “man” to beat. It was a fight between the two best IMO. Yet Ring had JC Martinez, has canceled several fights, and the clearly inferior Dalakian ahead of Bam.
I've lost a lot of respect for Ring after Oscar bought them, I felt there was a slant in their coverage. Where they completely lost me is when they started retroactively awarding titles and awarding Fighter of the year awards.
Re: the Ring Belt for Bam, credit Ring for ensuring “beat the man to be the man” rules as opposed to “moving targets” of other belt issuers?

Got it. Thanks. Helpful. Frankly have lost interest in most belts now.
