    What we call alphabet Belts in boxing, could be called Organization belts in MMA.

    There is a UFC Champion
    There is a Strikeforce Champion
    There is a DREAM Champion
    There is a WEC Champion

    Having these multiple Belts is actually a good thing for boxing because if you have one belt per division that's going to make TV contracts difficult, some boxers on HBO will never appear on Showtime and vice versa you'd be having to change contracts per every title defense and if the belt changes hands changing those contracts around too back and forth and back and forth, in the world of contracts its not good for business and if you followed the format one belt one champion and doing it per TV deal you aren't a far cry from having titles named after the TV stations themselves, Could you Imagine a heavyweight being called the "HBO Heavyweight Champion" or the "Showtime heavyweight champion" of the world?
    Yes wouldn't want to hurt the TV contracts

    HBO has a majority of title fights in the US and SKY has the majority of title fights in the UK.
    The only exception is really the Super Six, what other title fights has Showtime had recently?

    I'll give you some time to search boxrec for your answer.

    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
