The champ Topuria was unable to fight for an extended period of time due to personal circumstances, so the had a title fight and crowned "interim champ" until the champ could return to fight again. I think it is cheesy and overused, but it allows the ufc to have title fights even when the true champ is unavailable.
Thanks for that explanation. It makes a lot more sense to me now.

Twoface is spot on but one thing to add, most of the time the "personal circumstance" that prevents a fighter (in this case the champ) from fighting is an injury. Either from previous fight, injured during training, recovering from injury/surgery...etc. Even still, I agree interim champ title fights in the UFC are a bit over used but I get it, UFC makes money on title fights even if its for an interim belt.
Either way, as a fan of the UFC, I don't know if they will ever top this event.

The champ always fights the interim champ on his first fight back. Except John Jones. He refused to fight the interim champ Tom Aspinal, for fear of losing; he chose to retire instead.
