Well since UFC is a mainly athletic promotion, at least at this point to our knowledge, it's not like Wrestling at all. So comparing challengers coming in and being considered on par with top talent isn't in any way analagous to, say, Hulk Hogan coming into WCW.
First of all, wrestling is a different industry and it has things like paying dues, earning respect and trust, bankability, and recieving a push based on predetermined events.
A fighter coming into UFC and being thought to be a major player due to achievments in other leagues, and being "pushed" accordinly is not the same thing at all.
For example, the Red Sox signing Dice K from Japan for big money and immediately putting him in their rotation. Are you gonna sit here and compare that to Hulk Hogan in WCW?
Or even a player being traded to another team, and being place in the cleanup role in the lineup because he's established talent. Is that the same thing?
