The fighters they signed from the Contender Series when it was regional guys were from the same place they signed people from anyway. Now they're putting more international fighters on there they're probably signing higher level talent from there.
"Watered down" means, thanks to an explosion of low-level cards, these regional fighters now comprise a greater percentage of fights than ever before.
The least rankings ever mattered was when #15 or whatever it was ranked Dan Henderson got given a shot at Bisping which was 7 years ago now.
Are you deliberately misunderstanding me? I'm not sure how you came up with this comment. An egregious incident at a time when rankings matter more than they do now is not, in fact, proof that rankings mattered less 7 years ago.
