Well, if you notice, most of the rematches are needed. Yes, it would be nice if someone other than Sylvia or Arlovski fought for the title, but the only other two fighters in that division who are goign to challenge for it are Vera and Monson and neither of them are goign to take out Arlovski and Sylvia which means innevitably they will fight again.
Babalu is 10-0 since his loss to Liddell. Including wins against Horn, van Arsdale, Shogun, and others so its tough to say he doesnt deserve a rematch. Would it be nice if there was not so many rematches yes, however, the rematches are almost all at the top of the bracket and generally for title fights because some loses to the champion (sylvia, arlovski, GSP) and they work their way back up for another shot. Sorry, it happens.
As the depth and talent pool in mma increases there will be fewer rematches but as it stands, the top guys in the division are able to stay on top for years so they rematch frequently. the Nature of the beast. I would rather see Liddell v. babalu 2 then Liddell v. Random Can. Seriously, i would watch rematch after rematch of Chuck v. Cotoure or Arlovski v. Sylvia rather than see any one of those 4 guys endless pummel people who are not at the same level. Blame the lack of talented fighters, not the organizations.
