God damnit now I'm all confused.

Nog will fight the winner of that fight. Mir will face Herring. Winner of Mir/Herring will fight either Nog after Nog fights winner of Fedor/Couture, or winner of Mir/Herring will fight winner of Fedor/Couture. Herring vs. Mir is to me at least, the most obvious choice as a "next step" for Mir and Herring. UFC HW division is so fubar'd because of this interim crap.

I don't think he would care about his interim title if he gets the chance to fight Couture. I'm even willing to bet he doesn't care if he has to wait and fight the winner of Fedor v Couture (if it were to ever happen) so long as he gets the chance to validate his status as UFC heavyweight champ.

I think a lot of things have to fall through before Mir is considered. Werdum, Herring, possibly AA. I thought Werdum was the number one contender?

I could get over that just to see the Fedor/Couture fight but it's still a feckin retarted situation.

You would think that they'd immediately make Fedor vs. Randy for the heavyweight title but what the hell does that say about the interim title. Nogueira is just going to be shunted to the side and the belt he gained will basically be declared worthless which is a bit harsh.
