The UFC just needs to print rankings so that matchups make sense. That will help the world avoid matchups like Sinosic/Bisding and Evans/Salmon...or at least limit them. I still believe "classic" matchups make sense....meaning that even if Couture did not have a tuneup fight in the HW division, his past cred earns him that shot. Just like Rampage shouldnt have had to fight 3-4 guys to earn a shot at Chuck. Its just a matchup people wanna see. Or hell...UFC can run a poll on their site of matchups fans wanna see and then make them happen starting with the matchup most voted on. Granted, that does away for the need for rankings, but as MMA fans, we'd no doubt be treated to the fights we want.
