Pettis vs Aldo is why I am in favour the current match-making system, flawed though it yes.
Yes, we get some stupid fights. However, we also get amazing fights, like this one, that would probably never happen otherwise. I find the majority of UFC match-making to be quite good from the perspective of a fan of the sport. Is it fair to all fighters? No, no it isn't. But honestly the fight game isn't really about fairness like that. Mismatches can lead to upsets, which happen all the time in this sport.
I suspect a fighters union will come along someday, and it will likely be beneficial for the fighters. But people will harken back to those wild old days, when legends were made.
