I’d argue Tony Ferguson’s win at 216 is one of the only meaningful interim championships just cus Conor never returned. He was basically the lightweight champion at that time

[@csl9843]

i was just gonna say this

[@Oakshield2]

Renan Barao is probably the only legitimate interim champion I've seen. With Dominick Cruz unfit to fight and the UFC unwilling to strip him for inactivity, Barao actually did what an interim does, he defended the belt while the champion was unable to compete. When Cruz got injured yet again after they were set to unify it, enough was enough and he was promoted to undisputed. Every other interim just felt like a promotional tool to rescue some watered down card, a fuck you to the guy currently holding the belt or unwillingness to strip their cash cow who refused to defend.

[@MrDjentlegiant]

@@Oakshield2 you don’t think Tony’s is legitimate?

[@Oakshield2]

@@MrDjentlegiant No, that one enters into the categories of promotional tool and unwillingness to strip the cash cow. He was stripped of it before he could even defend it too. It was quite the clusterfuck.

Interim titles should be reserved for injured title holders, even then only if they have a reasonable return time frame.
