That is a very good question. It might be possible but you have to take one thing into consideration. Frankie Edgar drew with Gray Maynard and got to keep the title, so it's anybodies guess.
In that case it was more of a matter if the challenger can walk away with a victory or not which he didn't, that's why Frankie walked away with the belt.
I have no idea about a DQ victory scenario though.
So an automatic rematch would be something accidental that was declared a DQ by the ref and could've been otherwise. An opposite situation would be where someone did something deliberately and was cut by Dana White otherwise. But otherwise I see your point.
It's not the ******* WWF. Of course you can lose a championship by DQ. It's happened in boxing...not sure about MMA though. DQs are extremely rare in MMA for whatever reason.
The reasons DQs are rare in MMA is because the fighters usually aquaint themselves with the rules. Though what is an example of a boxing match where a title changed hands via DQ? That is interesting.
