    Jon Jones said he would step in to fight Miocic but only for the interim title. And if he wins, he fights werdum at UFC 200

    Wow. Talk about a card-saving move. Bones making up for not agreeing to fight Chael on short notice?

    Fuck interim titles. Just because a fight is postponed doesn't mean they have to create a pretend title.

    Except pretend titles are stupid and serve no purpose other than to bump up PPV sales by being able to call a non-title fight a title fight. An interim belt would be ridiculous in this case as neither Cain nor Werdum will be out for long.

    And in a few months it will look really stupid when they are fighting for the title while either Jones or Miocic is walking around with a make believe belt calling themselves the champ.

    As it should be. PPV would have been a rip-off.

    It sucks that the fight was called off, but I'm glad Cain isn't champion anymore.

    I'm in favor of interim titles if the champion hasn't fought in over 6 months and pulls out of a fight. I'm in favor of stripping the title and giving it to the interim guy if the champion goes over a year without fighting. Cain went almost 2 years without defending his belt after the last JDS fight.

    Interim titles are stupid. If a champ can't defend in a year, strip him of the title.

    A year is too long in the ufc. As long as the interim title holder and champ fight next, I have no issues with it one bit.

    I guess, if made up, pretend titles are your thing.
