A person or team that wins the championship without beating the actual titleholder and it is known that they can't defend the title against the actual champ. This may happen due to any reason like the actual champ being out of competition with injury or travel issues or anything.
When Jon Jones got stripped of the title, DC was nothing but a paper champ.
