So what exactly is "champion in recess"?

[New England]

bradley's out due to promotional issues right now


he's unable to fight until it's determined whether or not he's obligated to stay with shaw


so his belts, in stead of being taken and having people fight for them, will stay with him due to his inability to fight, until he's able to defend (likely against mandatories, and he'lloprobably be stripped anyway)


belts are for sissies anyway
