"Plus, back in the days of Dempsey, Louis, Ali, even Tyson, the heavyweight belt meant something. That's not the case anymore. If you're a big dude who enjoys beating up other big dudes, you're better off drifting toward better-organized and more respectable sports, like K-1, Pride or Ultimate Fighting."

he is right....... those organizations are more organized then boxing. you can distinctly say who the champs are. I am more of a boxing fan then mma, but I think this organization and being able to clearly tell who the champion is will benefit the ufc and hurt boxing in the long run.
