You can thank Randy Couture for the legal stupidity of this situation. Randy was the HW champ when he walked out, so that kinda left a big hole where they needed a title belt. Randy was still under contract too, and since he didn't go to another promotion, they couldn't strip him of the title. So they created the ridiculous "interim HW title", which Nog won in a bout with Sylvia. Then Mir beat Nog and became the "interim" champ. Well, Randy came back and since Mir and Nog where scheduled to fight, Brock was the next logical contender (I guess). Brock beat Randy, won the "true" HW belt and now him and Mir are fighting to determine the "undisputed" HW champion.
So, realisitcally, Mir should be the HW champion right now and Brock should be working his way up to a title shot, but because of the legal atrocity created by Randy Couture, we have this instead. Good for Mir in any case. He gets to take out Brock again while the big man is still inexperienced.
