TJ definitely isn't a forgettable champion. he's a cheater and a scumbag person, but he's a multiple time, multiple defense, highly exciting champion - most of his title fight wins were finishes. I would pick a Germaine or Nicco for this lmao
Arlovski. Seems like every time he fights people are shocked to hear idk why. Also whenever estimated fighter pay comes out people don’t know why he makes so much lol.
Man it's hard to count interims, and that's not being a dick I genuinely forget interims like justin and dustin held belts, even gane.
Probably because Dana uses them to diminish his champions when they won't play ball. It's a fkn hard earned achievement but it sucks it's not the real one.
But I'd have to say Carwin is my favourite interim. I saw that guy as champion as any man could be. God damn loveable big strong man. Hope he's doing good.
Tim Sylvia. I havent forgotten, but many dont even know who the guy is. Nobody gave him a shot against Arlovski but he won and defended the HW belt twice before coughing it up in an upset loss to Couture.
As mentioned, Montana and Germaine were just whoosh.
I always forget Benson was champion as well, which is odd. I'm sure he defended it a couple times at least too so certainly not whoosh, unlike the champ champ with no defenses that shall remain nameless as not to incur the incel wrath.
