Time for interim 135 belt while Cejudo is out?

[Me&MrJones]

Cejudo might be back early next year at 125...

How about Sterling #2 vs #3 Sandhagen for the interim belt?

There's a special place in hell for interim belts and people who want them

 

[Congo66]

No.
Just strip him and get on with it or wait for him.
Interim belts are BS.

 

[Medulla Omoplata]

fuck of course its you again

 

[IGotAHugePeckah]

NO. ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING INTERIM TITLES. NO MORE FUCKING INTERIM TITLES.

Champion has been out too long? Strip him.

It's not a real title, interim "champs" are not real champs. Khabib said it best about Dustin. It's a sham.

 

[SovereignPhantom]

No interim belts, but Sandhagen vs. Sterling and Yan vs. Moraes should be made ASAP.

 

[sabretitan]

Fuck that, just a 5 Rd title eliminator

 

[Fight Professor]

It has not been that long since he fought. Wtf

 

[AKA_Steve_B]

Really no reason to ask - Dana comes up with a new belt almost every event....

 

[cyrusthevyrus]

A tournament is the answer !!!!!!!

check out ONE FC , Bellator and Rizin !

 

[BRaVo cHoKe]

I'd say wait until Cejudo/Benavidez gets booked and we see what kind of shape Henry is in after that one.

 

[Dr Who]

Would be better if they just folder 125 and 135 into the 145 division and call it a day. There's no real benefit in keeping them on life support, they tried it, it was crap, move on.

 

[Mahkor]

sure, have Arjo fight Sandhagen for it.

 

[svmVR2097]

if he doesn't defend before June 8, 2020 then sure, go ahead. You don't need an interim title to be made number 1 contender.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

If Cejudo is coming back to defend 125 vs Joe-B, then he wont be defending the 135 belt until June or July at the earliest. In that case an interim belt wouldnt be terrible, similar to the top 2 fights at ufc 236.

Cejudo vs Joe-B 2 (FEB)
Sterling vs Sandhagen (Interim, JAN)

Moraes vs Yan (JAN)
Edgar vs Cruz (FEB)

Cejudo defends vs the interim champ. Moraes/Yan winner fights Edgar/Cruz winner on the same card this summer, unless Edgar & Moraes win they're teammates.

 

[SuperNerd]

Call it the "Lil Muthafucka Belt"

 

[Megalodon]

Sterling vs Yan is the fight, winner fights Cejudo.

 

[Megalodon]

Call it the "Lil Muthafucka Belt"

Ironically, Assuncao actually has a win over Masvidal.

Sandhagan? Yan doesn’t exist?
