    Of course they do because Brock Overeem is on the horizon? Or how about Silva GSP? The UFC does what's best for itself dude. Look's like you bought their hype.

    Diaz-GSP? GSP fighting Silva is up to GSP wanting to move up. There's no doubt Dana would make that fight if GSP is willing to move up. The UFC will soon be the only relevant MMA organization (like they aren't already) and will get the best fighters in the world. Dana doesn't **** around like boxing promoters.

    WBO is kind of stupid. I mean great fighers have had it, but I would say the WBC is the most meaningful.

    That's because the UFC is a monopoly. Since when has a monopoly in ANY sport been a good thing?

    I don't know. Check the PPV numbers. UFC events always occupy at least 6 of the top 10 PPV buys of each year.

    And? What's that got to do with anything? They have a monopoly on fighters and call every single shot with their exclusive contracts. How on earth is that in the best interest of the sport or the fighters?

    The fighters signed their contracts, so what are you bitching about? I can tell you that boxing has more problems than the UFC does. Who's supposed to call the shots in the first place? The fighters themselves? Nooooo, that's not how it's supposed to work.

    Stopped reading here. I actually thought you was going to present a decent argument. Turns out you're just clueless.

    You know what, you're just being an argumentative ****. What, you don't have anything to say? The fighters signed their contracts.

    Oh, a tier system, I like. As long as the top dog is recognized as the undisputed #1 and the champions are FORCED to keep moving up the ranks as opposed to the current situation with the guys like Boytsov who is waiting out the Klitschko era to be over.

    I am friends with a pro fighter. Those contracts are a legalized robbery, but due to the lack of competition, it's either that or nothing.

    They don't have a choice.
