As fighters get championship title fights after talking
their way into them a la Chael Sonnen or because the champion picked them to
fight for the title even though they lost their last fight like Nick Diaz, will
the UFC be forced to call themselves the UFE, Ulitmate Fighting
Entertainment? When guys are fighting
for a championship not because they have won the most fights or worked their
way up the rankings, but because it is the most entertaining fight or the fight
fans want to see, doesn’t it the emphasis become the entertainment? Though the outcomes are not planned like in
professional wrestling, the match ups are. The NFL can’t just pick the two
teams to play in the Super Bowl that they think will get the biggest ratings. If the UFC wants to be considered a sport,
like they claim they want to be, doesn’t it need to be a little more about the
sport than the entertainment?
