If UFC can do it, why can't the WBC/WBA/IBF Etc..

[Majesty]

I have thought this my self a few times.

I think its only a matter of time before another big MMA company is formed to rivel the UFC then they will have the same problems as boxing.

Weren't around in the PRIDE vs UFC days were ya?

I guess not

Were they the ones that the UFC bought out?

yeah but they went at it for YEARS. And amazingly after the UFC bought them out the first thing they did was unify the UFC and Pride titles by having their champions fight their champions in unification bouts. So if a Pride fighter signs to fight in the UFC they will put their belt up for grabs in a unification bout so that they will remain a one belt organization. Sadly Dan Henderson(who was the Pride Middle and Light Heavyweight Champ at the same time, first in its history) came in and lost both of his belts, the Light Heavyweight to Rampage Jackson and the Middleweight to Anderson Silva. But it was still nice they unified immediately. of course I do miss the PRIDE vs UFC days.

because UFC tried to match whatever PRIDE did that was considered spectacular, like entrances. UFC entrances nowadays are all basically the same the fighters come out and fight. But when the UFC was going up against Pride they made their entrances like something out of Naseem Hamed's book. Here, I'll show you one of Tito Ortiz's entrances, and mind he used to ALWAYS come out like this prior to the UFC getting Pride.

PRIDES entrances would even more spectacular.

since UFC brought Pride i haven't seen any entrances like this. I miss those days lol. That was back at UFC 32.

now contrast that to the way Tito enters now, post UFC buying the UFC
