Problem is....if Jones is Interim, doesn't he have to get next Title Shot?

[cpirish]

Otherwise UFC is a low rent boxing org, like the WBA, which has about 4 of its own different titles per weight class.

Or, could Jon just be stripped of the Interim title? I mean, he's already been stripped of the real one....

Just don't like two champs running around fighting other people.

 

[Death By Samson]

Yes. That is the whole point of the interim title. Assuming that the lineal champ is healthy.

 

[ReasonableMMAFan]

Weird situation that would be. It would be the first time a interim Champ didn't fight the Champ while they were still active.

 

[copyandpasteguy]

IDK, he hasn't been stripped of the Interim belt yet but
as uncle dana says

we will see what happens.

 

[trident]

It means whatever is they want it to mean.

DC is off commenting? Interim.

Conor wants to wander up into the 160s, twice? Interim.

 

[LongTermLurker]

UFC doesn't have to do anything but yes it is silly to have the interim title defended if the champ is healthy.

 

[Viking Power]

The UFC does whatever they want. There are no rules governing matchmaking and it's making it hard to think of it as a sport.

Unless it is Conor

Aldo is interim champ, shouldn't he get the next shot at the champ?

Jones is suspended and once it's official, he wont be interim champ anymore

 

[LongTermLurker]

Unless it is Conor

Silly in that case but hopefully the interim doesn't get defended.

This. After his trial he needs to be stripped of his belt.

 

[Craig Hogg]

I think getting banned for PEDs will override the interim title lol

 

[MMAfangirl]

I say strip him of it. It's justified and solves some problems.

 

[skysolo]

Rumble should turn down any fight that is not for the title.

 

[Dana_is_your_GOD]

Dana just makes shit up as he goes along.

 

[UL]

No
.this is the ufc

It's a corrupt and shitty organisation which makes no sense
