The champion only loses the title under a title fight. There are different rules for title fights in many organizations. The champion can have a fight and it not be for the title. An example of this was the fight of Matt Hughes and Joe Riggs. Riggs did not weigh in at the proper weight. Hughes took the fight as a normal fight instead of a title fight.
