Then fighters would have more control and superfights and official rankings could happen. But it looks like we are cursed to have the best 4 or 5 fighters in 4 or 5 different organisations.

KUDOS to you, Sam. Nice summary of what can be a confusing situation for casual fans. Almost all the fighters you mentioned are names casual fans drop very easily. I wonder if some fake hardcore MMA fans can cover up some of the glaring errors in their "knowledgeable" statements by simply reading this article...??...
