In the UFC because UFC fighters do not possess the privilege of being so evasive, the UFC often makes the best fights that everyone wants to see.

How would one 'earn' a shot without a ranking system?
I think brackets are great, maybe a grand prix? There should be intelligible ways people can follow fights. I even like it when Dana White has guys fight off for a shot at the champ.. Watching Cain go through Bigfoot, then JDS was incredible T.V. and incredible fighting.
I think that some sort of rational system that people can follow, will get more people to follow MMA
It makes things interesting, chance is a funny thing.
