    UFC is the WBC, but worse.

    At least they make fights and they don't waste belts and ban Russians.

    Aye, they do ban fighters though. Everyone in Bellator, One and Pride. Famously, it's why we never found out where Fedor was concerned. They will unban you if you take their money, but UFC make many, many top flight fights impossible. As a model, they are awful.

    Not that you're wrong about the WBC mind.

    Ring Magazine is the only championship that matters at this point. Which is hilarious because it also happens to be the one that isnt an official sanctioning body

    I definitely still consider Ring to be far more reputable than the alphabet orgs when it comes to divisional rankings.

    Their ridiculous neglect of any form of control over their belt holders in the middle and heavyweights destroys any hope that this is a credible outfit.
    Contenders are being denied earnings and boxing itself is suffering.
