We all know the UFC rankings are worthless. And in a landscape where viewership numbers are dropping, one way to bring more excitement to the sport would be to start 4-men tourneys in each division to settle the true No.1 contenders.
(I'm not talking about same night tournaments, of corse)
Sure, injuries could plague some of these tourneys. But that's why you have alternates.
It's just a thought. But I really think fans would get behind this format. I sure would.
Imagine if we had these 4-men tourneys to settle the next contenders:
MW: Rockhold, Jacare, Kelvin and Weidman.
WW: RDA, Wonderboy, Lawler, Covington.
LW: Ferguson, Alvarez, Barbosa, Poirier.
FW: Ortega, Aldo, Edgar, Swanson.
Etc...
