UFC seriously needs to put out the dumpster fire that is the middleweight championship today and just have an 8 man tourney for the belt, Strikeforce style:

Whittaker
Romero
Rockhold
Weidman
Jacare
Brunson
Gastelum
Borrachina/Branch

Match them up however, i dont care, but i no longer give a single fuck who the middleweight champ is and they need to do something to restore validity to the division and an interim belt is not the answer
 
<{monica}>Now that’s what we need. I mean it can’t get any worse right? Fuck it lol.
 
You're too anxious bro..
Give it 5-6 years and i guarantee we will have an undisputed
champ
<mma4>
 
' Funny, I like! '
- Tze
 
Still one of the better divisions imo

Two jokers fucked it up

(Bisping and Gsp)

Pair of dickheads


Give it 6 month, both will be gone and the MW division will be great again
 
Except Whittaker is the champ.

That division definitely can have the belt changing hands often tho, top 5-7 are all elite, no clear best guy in that division
 
8 is not enough, 16 man tournaments are always better

Whittaker
Romero
Rockhold
Jacare
Weidman
Brunson
Gastelum
Branch
Costa
Sapato Jr
Hall
Jotko
Marreta
Anders
A. Smith
Boetsch

<Goldie11>

Alternates: Tavares, Machida, Mutante, Theodorou..
 
Why would Whittaker give up the belt to run the gauntlet again when he just did it? Not his fault the brass let Bisping dictate how the division was run.

I agree that division is frustrating though.
 
Whitaker vs. Rocksalt for the WBC UFC MW title
Romero vs. Weidman for the IBF UFC MW Title
Jacare vs. Mousasi's ghost for the WBA UFC MW Title

That would solve it all............
 
MW continues to be a shitshow despite there being a ton of talent there.

take out Hall or Boetsch and put in Bisping for his last fight against Romero, or let Costa make a name for himself.

people should just get over the farce of belts and champions.
 
Just have the Rockhold/Romero winner fight Whittaker once he heals up.
 
no, a man going to retire shouldn't be at a tournament for a belt imo
unless it's Romero which should have been or maybe Luke rubber match. he's still ranked and a former champ. would be some balls to enter a tourney right at retirement. not a fan of Bisping though, but would be bad ass to do that if a tourney would really happen
