Your champions and contenders need to be people your viewing people want to pay to watch. Whether you like that or not, that's the facts. Who was the last boring boxing champion that people paid to see? Exactly the same as wrestling. You pay to see the stars.

Then it has no claim to being a legitimate sport. If the everything but the fight itself is full of bullshit...then it isn't legitimate. So you are saying that if there is an MMA fighter who kicks everybody's ass and is undefeated, but it is "boring" to the mass, he shouldn't get a title shot because he can't make money for Dana White?

No wonder UFC needed the rub of following WWE when it debuted TUF, because UFC is no fucking different than the UFC.
