It's a way of legitimizing an interim belt that the UFC knows will become the real title once GSP vacates/Bisping retires.

Bisping will sign to fight Romero, pull out with an 'injury', Romero will fight Rockhold/Moose/Whitaker for interim title. Then winner of GSP-Bisping vacates/retires, interim title holder promoted to 'real' champion.

It's happening, you heard it here first on inforwars.com

Nothing these assholes might do requires a tinfoil hat to believe it. I didn't even read 50% of what you typed above (seriously), but if it's shady, they would do it.

Could care less about this fight or how the company is running this shit show they call the UFC.

Not a fan of Luke Rockhold but he was spot on about the current state of affairs in the UFC when he did that interview with Helwani.

Why would they go through the trouble about asking Bisping to fake an injury when they can just skip all of that, schedule the interim for July and have Bisping and GSP fight in November?
Also, if they have an interim title in July it's weird to have the champion fight a different contender in the same weight class down the line with the interim champion healthy. They're obviously not against something being weird, but I don't see them doing that.

Two reasons:

1. An interim title without the champ being injured pisses people off. It's existence has more justification if the champ is injured.

2. It stops the champ from looking like he is ducking actual contenders if he signs to fight in the first place, rather than just sitting out for a year.

Dana could then justify not unifying the titles immediately and making Bisping-GSP by saying something like 'listen, let me tell you the truth, everyone wants to see these two kids fight. We are all about putting on the fights the fans want to see.'

In this case, it would not have pissed people off. The entire division was calling for it, and I can't think of an interim title lately that fans were more on board for.
2. It stops the champ from looking like he is ducking actual contenders if he signs to fight in the first place, rather than just sitting out for a year.
He will look like he is ducking actual contenders when he gets injured for the Yoel fight but then immediately accepts a GSP fight when Yoel (or whoever he fights) becomes the interim champ.
Dana could then justify not unifying the titles immediately and making Bisping-GSP by saying something like 'listen, let me tell you the truth, everyone wants to see these two kids fight. We are all about putting on the fights the fans want to see.'
He could say this either way. They're not going to conspire for the champ to fake an injury so Dana could more easily justify his bullshit. Dana has already shown that he can bullshit just fine on his own with little justification.

You raise valid counterarguments, although my point about Dana was just to address the argument others have made that Bisping will HAVE to fight an iterim title holder if they make one.

I still think the injury gives Bisping/UFC more cover to create an interim belt/duck contenders than him just sitting out though.

And also, the ruse was invented by the lizard people illuminati just after they committed 9/11 and put everyone into FEMA death camps, so you can't stop it.

I get your point when you're talking about the lizard overlords, but it doesn't avoid people saying that Bisping is ducking people. If he signs for Yoel first and gets injured THEN does the GSP fight with an interim belt holder in existence, it looks even more like a duck. At this point, there's no real rock solid thing holding Bisping to a real contender. When you introduce an interim belt, they exist so the champion has to fight the interim holder when he is ready to go. Much more obvious duck in that scenario.
