How does that change what I said? Randy did fight Brock instead of Nog and Woodley fought Till instead of Colby.I think he meant Jon is the only champ not to fight the interim champ.
I mean take away Tony I guess as Conor didn't defend at all and just came back and fought Khabib who'd ultimately won the new title. I still think he deserves a mention anyways though as the UFC ignored Tony's interim title and were forcing him and Khabib to fight for a vacant one instead of just promoting him and having him defend against Khabib. Both Conor and Tony were being stripped which was nonsensical. Tony's later injury makes their decision to strip him too valid in hindsight, but they were stripping him before that ever happened.
They've ignored interim belts when it suits them. The interim belt is first and foremost to sell a PPV when a champ pulls out/can't defend on a PPV card like they need to, and afterwards is whatever the UFC wants it to mean or not mean.
As we're seeing here by them having Tom defend. Tom's not defending because he has to, but because it's a British PPV card, Tom's British, and the UFC's decided to hold it at American time so the card needs to be stacked to ensure the British are willing to still be out at 6am. If Tom weren't interim champ he'd be on this card regardless for all those same reasons.
