Maybe that's a British/European thing. KSW and Cage Warriors our our version of Bellator and LFA I'd guess by comparison. If you're a European MMA fighter and you want to make a name for yourself then fighting in Cage Warriors or KSW will make fans start to really take notice (ACA is also fairly big but it's hard for non-Russian fighters to make a name for themselves there although they have got a lot of Brazilian talents for some reason). I guess the locality of it means they're held in higher regard here than they are in the US.
