Interim FW Champion... But for how long?

[Koimpact]

Considering that Aldo and Edgar are fighting for the interim title and the rumors flying around that Conor will not go back down to FW, how do you think the winner of the Edgar/Aldo bout will react if Conor moves to LW before defending his belt? Do you think that the winner will "chase" Conor to fight him at LW or do you think they would be happy being the champion at 145 if/when Conor vacates the title?

My guess is that if Aldo wins, he will definitely follow Conor to the LW division to avenge his loss (that legacy doe) and, honestly I think Aldo would be in a pretty good position for a title shot at LW if he beats Conor (provided Conor racks up some wins after his next bout with Diaz). With Edgar, on the other hand, I think he would be content to stay at 145 and reign as champ there should he win at UFC 200. Genuinely interested in people's thoughts on the matter.

That'd be great for both fighters. Imagine the pay.

I think that both Aldo and Edgar have been told that Conor will be vacating the title after 200, and their fight is actually for the real belt. Neither of them will be surprised when Conor goes to LW without fighting them.
