Jon Jones vs OSP for the interim light heavyweight championship. OSP is a stud but I expect Bones to crush. #UFC197

UFC called Anthony Johnson. He just had a dental procedure. Can't put a mouthpiece in.

Full credit for OSP taking the fight against one of the best ever, but feels like a pre-championship Jones fight. #UFC197

Hey @JonnyBones if you still want to try HWT I am your huckleberry #MMA #UFC

Hard not to feel for DC. He wanted this Jones fight to happen more than anyone and really did all he could to stay on the card.

Interims are cool. Know what's cooler? co-interims. Three belts: The real one, the stopgap and the placeholder to the stopgap to the actual.

197-200 PPV main/co-mains include 2 fresh title fights, 2 interim title fights. 4 those 8 featured bout slots are rematches.

OSP has recent losses to Bader and Glover and is fighting for the @ufc title vs Jones. That's hilarious. What a joke.

When you really think about it, every title is an interim title.

Damn I guess I just miss out on fighting Jon Jones

Now let's get down to business – OSP better be getting handsomely paid for stepping up to fight one of the #AllTimeGOATs on short notice.

I consulted the Official Book of Awarding Interim Titles & funnily enough, nothing in there precludes giving JJ-OSP interim title status.

OSP no stranger to stepping up on short notice. Remember, he fought Shogun on days notice in BRA and KO'd him. Still, this is a fired up JBJ

Jon Jones just said he agreed to fight OSP because he thought it stood for "One Short Policeman" #UFC197

Jon Jones said he's only going to fight OSP if it counts towards his Community Service #UFC197
