What if UFC made its own contenders league?

Tried to make it bellator level feeder event.

Make a roster of "contender champs"

Gray Maynard/Diego Sanchez
Josh Koscheck/thiago Alves
Cote/Leben
Bader/Hammil
Roy Nelson/Gonzaga


Have Gate Keepers fight each other and have new fighters fight tournaments with an old fighter or two for shots at the intercontinental title, guys abandon it when fighting for UFC contender level fights but have it as a weekly tv fight night in smaller towns/ venues that don't get UFC fights.

I've liked this idea for years. I was really hoping they would implement this system when they bough strikeforce. Phone Post 3.0

Isnt that what TUF is?

And from a 06er Phone Post 3.0

Pointless. Phone Post 3.0

Why would the UFC pay to do this when that's what the other promotions pretty much are? Phone Post 3.0

It would diminish the UFC brand. Phone Post 3.0
