The UFC are just covering their arses. If Conor comes back at 170 vs Diaz again then they can give Conor's title to whoever has the interim. Similar situation at MW, if Bisping beats GSP and then retires, Robert Whittaker becomes the full champ.I'm interested in the fight, I'm ok with it being a title eliminator. They don't need to make it an interim belt, but this is how desperate they are. They'll do anything to try to get that 1 or 2 extra PPV buys.
The alternative is having 2 guys fighting for the full belt and they aren't gonna do that to their cash cow.
