How to use it
Pick two champions and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Johnson against Adesanya to see the two point two to one gap. Consecutive scope rides every row, totals in notes.
Volkanovski sits at 5 consecutive with 6 total and stays out to keep 12 rows. Consecutive scope never mixes with career totals in one row. Interim reigns never count as undisputed defenses. Dates anchor each reign in context since numbering shifts with rematches.
