We care about interims because it doesn't make sense if the champion just defended and also it matters because interims are allowed to call themselves champs which is silly. Just like Tom and his fans call him champ when he's most certainly not the actual champion. That's why Jed
There's a difference. Belas was scheduled to fight the number 1 contendender and got hurt. Jones is ducking the #1 contender to fight a retired fireman. If Jones got hurt while booked against Tom, nobody would claim he deserved to get stripped.
@GAUTAMAbuddho 😂How is Jon ducking when the UFC made the fight? Fact is that Aspinall doesn't have as big of a name as Stipe so why not cash out on Stipe's last fight? Aspinall will be around, Stipe won't.
Great show today. The BMF belt is a frikin joke. Get rid of that garbage, but an interim belt with the perks it gets for the fighter financially and otherwise, and a definitive answer, who is the #1 contender, makes absolute sense. Happy Halloween!🎃🥋🥊
How can Jed say Tom Aspinall is the real heavyweight champion when he hasn't beaten Francis Ngannou or Jon Jones? That's gotta be the stupidest thing he's ever said lol 😆
How about this for a plan for the BMF title. Have a BMF champ until the undisputed champ of that weight class beats them. Then the BMF from that weight class disappears and moves to a different weight class. So for example by topuria beating Max it means the BMF is gone and now can be put in another weight class to be completed for. My thinking behind this is the fact the champ of every weight class is already the BMF of that weight because he/she is champ but having people compete for the BMF is good for fans and fighters as it add excitement for fans and money for fighters. BMF has to be competed for by non champs when it moves to a new weight class
Sometimes MMA fans are just really weird. I can't imagine having a football conversation and someone saying " just make up a championship. The Lions and Packers are the best game this week so they're going to play for the Interim Super Bowl." When the NBA decided to do this, they set up an entire tournament format to make it make some kind of sense. Even that is pretty dumb. But you would literally just be putting a title on the line simply to have it on a poster in this case. Somebody's going to get to say that they won a championship even when the champion was healthy and could fight. How did we go from a champion needs to defend their title in a year to even before the fight happens we're talking about an interim title fight months after he defended his title?
One of the many reasons this channel's credibility has plummeted in the last year, specifically month. Mmafighting is one Jed take away from being considered "The Onion" of mma content.
Just pay them extra money and don't give away an interim belt. If the interim is so important to y'all, just let them fight and pretend in your mind that they get an interim title belt. This is how silly y'all sound
Grudge matches and fights, between fighters that have a real beef genuine disdain for each other always sells the most in combat sports (boxing, mma), And if you add to that the fact an undefeated Russian with the nurmagomedov last name is fighting for the title its the biggest fight at 135 by far..... Every mma casual in the world knows that last name, even freaking Donald tromp talk about him all the time. Thats why umar vs merab is the biggest fight at 135, especially if that fight happens in new york with the massive Russian and Georgian population there or abudabi too. Barclays center Brooklyn umar vs merab is a massive fight. O'Malley isn't a star and we know that and his fight with merab was very boring and the casuals won't care for a rematch especially when we know merab is winning again.... Its like masvidal vs kamaru 1 did massive numbers but the rematch did terrible numbers because people knew the outcome already plus the first fight was boring.... Exept merab vs sean in the sphere didn't do particularly great numbers compared to masvidal vs kamaru 1 which did 1.3 million in ppv.
Umar is a much bigger star in the middle east, Asia and Russia than o'malley is a star in America and its not even close. Honestly even Petr yan is probably equal in star power in the usa than o'malley not even exaggerating.
That is exactly why I don’t want an Interim belt for Lopez vs Volk, WHO CARES. It would be totally pointless made up just to satisfy Volks ego. The only one saying Volk has to fight for a belt next is Volk. I care because it would be so very pointless, while being a way for the UFC to PPV headline a guy who simply shouldn’t be a PPV headline next.
Be honest. Merab is never in an interesting fight. The lay and pray style is dog water. Complete decision merchant. Dude is ducking umar because he won’t be able to hold him down for 5 rds. I thought he lost to Aldo. If he never fights again maybe 10 people will care.
Casey you are just greatly underestimating the star power that comes with the nurmagomedov's last name, especially if they are fighting for a title, I mean abu dabi build entire arena 20k capacity just for khabib's return vs poirier, and the ufc knows it. Saudi offered a 100 million for khabib to rematch conor in Saudi, thats how big of a star he was in many places arround the world especially markets the ufc are intrested in. I can remember vividly in one of mmafighting stream after khabib retired and conor wanted his fight poirier to be for the title you thought the ufc were going to do exactly that (cause they love money and conor is a bigger draw) listen to conor strip the title from khabib and put it on the line for conor vs poirier 2 but they didn't cause khabib was a massive star big enough they didn't want to strip him even for conor. And we have to remember the ufc is the company that kicked out usada for conor thats how much they love him... Umar vs merab in new york or abudabi will do much better numbers than o'malley in a boring rematch...
Plus you are talking as if o'malley is a big draw when he is not, and never will, he isn't tuporia, he isn't khamzat, he isn't paddy he doesn't have their potential for star power. Even with his broken English umar's episode on the p4p podcast did more views than both merab's and o'malley combined the week of the sphere.... The fans are very intrested in umar and the crazy part is he hasn't even won the belt yet.

Interim titles are great for fighters financially, so I am for it.
Another card Aspinall could save but won't. Alex will probably step up again.
He's ducking pantoja
😂😂😂 After a full year of crying for Jones to get stripped, now it's "Make more belts! Who cares?"
They must cope…
It's cause Jon is black, guys.
There's a difference. Belas was scheduled to fight the number 1 contendender and got hurt.
Jones is ducking the #1 contender to fight a retired fireman.
If Jones got hurt while booked against Tom, nobody would claim he deserved to get stripped.
@TheFireStarter1215 😂😂😂 Tf? Nobody said that. 🤡

Usman called Dana instead of tweeting
Usman is afraid
Casey saying showing Stipe in highlight reels Pre Reebok outfits was one of the funniest things I've heard in a minute. 😂😂😂🤙🏾
That’s pikachu not a bee
S.B.N. YOU'RE ASSUMING YOU DON'T HAVE DA RIGHT FACT .

Francis has the best argument for the “real HW champ” in mma.
If I'm Shavkat, I don't take another fight unless Dana pays me extra to save the card 🥱

If Jed was famous he’d be my celebrity crush.

I think if a ppv has low quality fighters then there should be like a 8 fight ppv

The issue with 145 interim is the card quality drops if Volk headlines because we SHOULD get that fight and another title fight.
The issue is it’ll headline instead of being a stelar co-main.
We need buckley to step in as interim vs shavkhat
Also im pretty sure usman wants to fight 185 now
Put Kamaru in and make it a interim title
Jed wearing his 1zy PJs for Halloween.
😂Usman doesn’t want the smoke 💨 😂😂😂😂
