I have no problem with the Silver titles and actually I think they are much better then calling a title an 'interim'. Not every kid can grow up to be a legit champion but if they can put together a good 'silver' rankings with a mix of old and young then it can actually be productive, give prospects good competition and say a certain number of defenses gets you a shot at the title.

The word silver obviously indicates that it isn't THE belt, it's harmless and can actually be good imo. No kid grows up dreaming to one day help his team with the Outback Bowl or the Emerald Bowl but college football still has a ton of bowl games.

MMA has dozens of smaller organizations that give out belts, doesn't do much to skew the UFC champions.
