Now I know that lots of people are going to say that if you want to be the in the top organization you have to be winning. But I believe that a larger roster makes for better match ups, look at the lightweight division, there are tons of great match ups down there, because they have so many fighters to chose from. While in the other divisions fighters are sitting around a lot longer than they want to to get a fighter of there caliber. Do you agree that the UFC should be more reluctant to cut? Or do you feel the fighters knowing they could get cut with two or three losses make them train harder? Thoughts?

Bellator puts on a show 9/10 times. For free I might add.

Yep... I'm getting tired of looking at my cable bill.  I wish the UFC would get a deal done with a network to alleviate some of this PPV stuff.

I have just started to watch Belator (regularly).  In the past I would watch the replays on TV; however now I get it live and to be honest I have seen some quality fights.  I do hope that they can get some more quality fighters to make the full card more exciting but all in all great show.  The only thing I question are these non title fights with their champions....what happens if the champion loses that fight???  Won't that tarnish the credibilty of the champion a bit??  So far it hasn't happen but at some point it will and I wonder how we will react to that.
