A world Title by definition (at least in combat sports, not team sports part of a league) is a championship that you can take anywhere with you and defend it.
Jack Johnson famously took his Heavyweight Title overseas and defended it because of his little dust up in the U.S. Hell, this is why we have a thing called "lineal" champion, where we recognize a guy as champion even if he gets unjustifiably stripped of his trinket. In the UFC, you are nothing but their league champion. They own you. You can't leave their league and still be the champ.
