Tournaments take up way too much of the year and the champions don't end up defending their titles very often. Both Silva and Fedor have champs in Pride for about 3-4 years, and they've only defended their titles a handful of times. And it doesn't look like either of them will be defending their titles until the end of this year. That way it allows champions to lose without actually losing their belts, which is kind of lame.
