Should The UFC Take A Leaf Out Of Bellator’s Book?

Written by Jack

Recently, Bellator have began to introduce tournaments for their weight divisions with the winner earning the belt in their respective division. It would be hard to argue that it hasn’t been a success that has brought some interesting matchups including Ryan Bader vs Fedor. This leaves us with the following question - “should the UFC do the same?”

In simples terms I believe they should. Of course doing it with every division would be slightly boring but the divisions that are packed with talent such as Heavyweight and Lightweight then there are endless possibilities. This could lead to some seriously fascinating fights; Cain vs Stipe, Diaz vs Ferguson, Khabib vs GSP and so on.

However, as good as this would be I can’t see this happening anytime soon just because of Dana’s pride - he wouldn’t want to be seen copying a rival business but it would be pretty cool to watch.
