Time for interim belts, right?

[Chernobyl426]

It seems like every week we see a championship fight get cancelled as the result of an injury, or a champion isn't able to come back to defend their belt for a multitude of reasons. Whittaker/Romero. Ferguson/Lee. Now Rockhold/Romero. I'm not sure how easily it would be incorporated into the game at this point if it hasn't been headed, but it plays a bigger part in the company every year. We need them piles and piles of titles flowing around.

I forgot to change my Twitter profile to interim EA UFC 3 champion, thanks for the reminder!!

I suppose it could be a nice "skin" addition to Career Mode.

I don't know what we'd use them for until there's a universe mode with injuries or other absences for fighters. Other than that, it's an annoyance irl lol, I wouldn't really want them tbh.

It could add depth to career mode. Build up rivalry with injured champ.

I normally just do regular 5 rounders for my universes Interim belts.

Buuut, it'd be a cool option to see, few unique commentary lines, the belt getting slapped on the winner, It'd be cool, especially given how common they are becoming.

Unification bouts would be cool as hell, too.
