“The first UFC Legacy Championship Belt will be awarded at UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs Dillashaw in Brooklyn. It will subsequently recognize title defenses and new championship wins in 2019 and beyond.”

Features

The UFC Legacy Championship Belt is uniquely customized for each individual champion by the athlete’s country, weight class and number of title defenses.”

Starting this year, fighters, who win UFC championship bouts will be awarded a UFC Legacy Championship Belt. Also, the women’s championship belt is designed to be slightly smaller. It is identical to the men’s belt in every other detail.

Another cool feature is the fact that with “each defense of the belt in the specified weight class earns an additional ruby to be added to the athlete’s belt. Defenses and wins prior to January 19th, 2019, will not be added to the new belt.”
