Obviously they pulled Stipe to save him for Jon's lunch. Aspinal, Pav, Stipe, whoever was going to win that fight with Jones being out should absolutely have the interim title and Jon fights them as soon as he gets back. That's how it works. Jon, Stipe, Dana White, and anyone else who goes along with this pointless charade is 100% retarded.I like how all the people are ignoring that:
- Aspinall was the backup backup fighter
- Aspinall won the interim off another backup fighter, not the original challenger like usually happens
- interim titles are created to save PPVs and ticket prices, not because they're needed divisionally
The situation exists because they made the interim belt be Aspinall/Sergei out of left field and not Stipe/Sergei like had already been agreed upon as Sergei was the official backup fighter for Jon/Stipe. When normal interim shit like Tony/Gaethje happens we KNOW we don't go ahead with Tony still getting a title shot over the guy he just lost to.
It's fucking great Aspinall won. Don't get me wrong, he SHOULD be the #1 contender wins wise. His interim belt is completely meaningless garbage though.
