As a fight fan I care about titles, ranks, and ladder climbing. So what are the guys at the the bottom and diamonds in the ruffs suppose to do if they can't ladder climb to get higher for a shot, If all champs do is pick & choose the best money fight? Money fights are good for the fighters and maybe the UFC if they sell mega, but as far as I can see there is only one fighter that is considered a money fight at the moment, the rest are just fighters
It's the UFC's job to teach casuals about belts and ranks not eliminate their importance because their cumbersome and get in the way of making maximum money. This is why a true legit contender like Maia is denied a shot because he's not a sexy sell he's not a money a money fight, it's all f*king backwards to me I was raised on boxing bought Black Belt magazines for fighting tips lost my mind when I first saw Royce Gracie who would be booed out of the arena by 2days casuals. I'm old school and refuse to change, I like fighters not primadonna's
