Only started to watch MMA when Gsp became champ.

I remember him refusing to take the interim belt because it wasn't the real one at UFC 79.

Any others before ?
 
Randy vs chuck UFC 43.
 
UFC 51 ?

After Mir got badly injured

They did Arlovski Vs Sylvia.

First one ?
 
best interim champ ever is 2008-09 frank mir
 
looked it up. it was randy against chuck for interim 205 strap when Tito Ortiz was champ. randy unified the very next ppv
 
Yep. Randy the OG two division champ. Now they give them out like candy for Halloween.

Glorified number one contenders fight with a belt as a consolation prize and confirmation you will fight the real champ.
 
Lol

Tito's fear and ducking of Chuck Liddell created it.

Thank Tito.

Dude... Bobby Knucks
 
Mir vs Nog
Condit vs Diaz
Yea but they were the first ever Interim champ for each weight class. I just forgot that Whittaker was the first and only ever Middleweight Interim champ. It’s been a long day.
 
I believe it was Randy when Tito was gone due to contract disputes IIRC.

What happened to BJ's belt when he left the UFC?
 
Yeah Randy vs. Chuck. Big drama at the time with Tito, and the champ vs. champ storyline. Now it's kinda played out.

Well, until Conor it got big again but then went down hill from there.
