I would prefer to see a series of fights of each organisations top contenders. I mean think about there are some really good fighters in each division and there are some really good up and comers in each division. Let them fight it out on a card with two title holders as the main event. That would be an awesome card and over the course of a year we would see which org top to bottom has the best fighters. Thoughts???

Agreed - although a year is not enough time to discover who the better org is imo.

Example - Arlovski vs Sylvia. Even if the big fights were trippled, and all the undercards fought three times too (can't be bothered with the maths - 1,000,000+ fights maybe?) the issue would still be debateable and a matter of opinion for the most part. That's what makes this so great though - that we will have results to debate with, and also that UFC fans will be consistently exposed to Pride & vise versa.

git.

You have to remember the average UFC fan has no idea about pride, so it would turn out where they spend a ton of money on headline fighters all in one event and then not get enough PPV buys to warrent that many headliners
