It doesn't devalue the belt, it doesn't devalue the fighters and it doesn't devalue the sport so I just don't get the whining. As I said
UFC being a business isn't a legitimate excuse for them not basing decisions on actual merit instead of financial ones. NFL is a fucking business too, but you don't see them denying the Browns a playoff spot and giving it to the Jets because the Jets would get more media coverage and get better ratings.
