UFC isn't going to allow a TV network to run their promotion for them.

Meaning, is it the type of situation, like with boxing, where HBO is a major player in the actual dealings of the fight? Does HBO provide big money to get bigger fighters? I know thats how it works in boxing, but does anyone know if this could potentially improved the quality of UFC fights? Or is this just another stupid reality show?

I'm actually in the process of writing a similar post myself. I think the UFC is really starting to dilute their talent pool and spread themselves thin with all these shows. They already have too many shows in 2006. If they are going to add additional shows in 2007 on top of the PPV and Spike shows, I just don't know where they will get their fighters from. There already is a lack of talented, world-class fighters in the heavier weight classes. Good write up Luke. I’m actually in the process of writing a similar post myself.

I even mentioned it in my article a few times since we both know K-1 isin't a favourable alternative, especially how they delt with Bob Sapp. I hope to God almighty that Dana White doesn't f**k up the negotiations with the PRIDE fighters if PRIDE does indeed die out.
