MMA would be so much better if all the fighters were free to fight whomever they wanted. Dana White deserves credit for building the sport up to what it is now, but why doesn’t he nor anyone else realize that the sport is being sheltered? In boxing you have the WBC, WBO, IBF and the WBA, but all of those associations let fighters fight one another. The presidents and gurus of the MMA organizations need to have a sit-down and get something together. Until then pound for pound lists and best lightweight, best welterweight lists are stupid.

Matt ‘the Terror” Serra beat George St Pierre fair and square. I do not dispute or argue that fact. What I am asking everyone is what they think of the credibility of the UFC and the direction they are taking. They have yearned to be a professional sanctioned entity yet they are following a mixed path of wrestling, boxing and commercialism. I know it is all in the name of entertainment and the almighty dollar and my cable bill every month shows how much I enjoy the sport.
A ‘reality show’ contestant that gets a chance at the welterweight belt without beating the top contenders? A scheduled contract fight between one of the most recognized fighters and the president of the organization? The last UFC had a Mariachi band, a fighter entering the ring with a silence of the lambs mask, and hype hype hype. What is the future of the fastest growing sport in America?
