why is Holloway/Pettis for 'interm' title?

Wtf? The title the winner gets is a joke.

If the winner is fighting Aldo for the FW title anyways what's the point if another interm title holder? 

Being able to promote the fight as a title fight and/or guaranteeing the winner a shot at the real belt. 

Well is Aldo still retired? Maybe this is a way to sway him to come back and fight. Phone Post 3.0

Aldo won't retire. He was just pissed not getting his rematch with McGregor. He's a UFC world champion again.

To strip mcgregor, easy.

They already stripped McGregor of his title though and naned Jose the world champ. This interm shit means nothing. 

They needed a title fight for that card since DC got injured. Phone Post 3.0

I believe they must give a refund on tickets to those that want it unless there is a title fight of some kind on the card.

That might vary from state to state, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

When purchasing a ticket or on the ticket, there is a "fight card subject to change" disclaimer. No refunds for events unless they are entirely cancelled.

This is a step in the right direction IMO.

Every division should have at least 2-3 interim belts. Phone Post 3.0

To sell the card as a ppv still. Mitigates the damage of Cormier-Johnson falling apart.
