I think the guys should get paid more but one would think that if they could get paid more somewhere else they would. I don't see them running to Dream in Japan or strikeforce or anywhere. Its a fighters market. I'm sure the UFC could pay more but I don't think million dollar purses for UFC headliners are in the budget. As far as the original posters sentiments. The fact that I get a minimum of 5 fights for my $50 dollars has pushed me more and more to MMA. I buy 1-2 boxing ppvs in a year where I used to buy 6+. I'd rather spend my money on a UFC PPV where I know I'm going to get to see multiple fights with top competitors. One belt per weight class is a no brainer but simply better matchmaking and good top to bottom cards would be a great start

Definitely agree about the matchmaking. Also I think UFC has a good business plan. If it aint broke don't fix it. They hooked up with spike at a perfect time, and both benefited. I have HBO and Showtime, but I like that I can watch UFC on regular tv. Plus I think they get alot more sponsorships because of the regular tv thing.
