The strange thing about getting your fighters more money for fighting nobodies is that if they're not pi$$ing the money away fast enough, you've shaved a little off their desperation and that affects their willingness to take risks. In that light, I can appreciate the russian invasion... Fighting challengers in their home towns, for recognition, to support their families... collecting the belts and clearing out a division. It's not about having your favorite super car in another color or making a list of demands for your opponents or stroking your ego...
