Business if you think about it. Strikeforce has a contract with Showtime so if Zuffa started unifying titles and folding 3 of the 5 weight classes into the UFC Showtime could probably sue for breach of contract. By bleeding them dry of all the talented/exciting fighters, Showtime can't complain since the divisions themselves are still in tact and the contract is between them and Strikeforce not them and Strikeforce fighters.
