He would not have been given the belt had he not beaten Edgar for the interim. Had that fight never happened the title would have been vacant until someone won it. That is the meaning of an interim belt in case the champ does not return or does not want to defend.Interim belt. Same as the one Max has. He was given the belt, he needs to fight to earn it.
A formality.
But I agree that he should unify it. Even though Holloway is basically holding a marketing belt.
