Well, when we had the UFC and PRIDE the top talent was split between the two orgs. So you would never have been able to see Hendo v Silva or Rampage v Liddel. Even though Hendo got smashed by BOTH champions it was still intriguing to see who actually WAS the champ in those weight classes. Rampage gave a +1 to PRIDE, Silva gave a +1 to UFC and Cro Cop (I'm still shocked about it) gave PRIDE a big fat -1,000,000 with his performances.
I want to see all of the top fighters in 1 org.
If the UFC was smart they'd put on a Super Show in Japan. They bought PRIDE so why not have a huge UFC: Shockwave 2008 in Japan?!?
I wonder how the Japanese fans would react to a cage.

There are so many great fighters signed to Dream. And even though Zuffa purchased Pride, they brought over less than ten fighters. So if your wish came true, some of Dream's fighters could go to the UFC, and the rest would be free agents left to find a home in one of the other organizations that dot the globe.
It's better that Dream's in existence because we get to see some awesome matchups. There are a good amount of top fighters in Dream's stable. And the longer that Dream exists, the greater the likelihood that their stable of fighters will increase in size.
As it currently stands, there aren't a lot of "dream" matchups between UFC fighters and Dream fighters. And the UFC had a chance to sign a good amount of the Dream fighters and they didn't. So that should tell you something. Either the UFC didn't want to pay up or the Dream fighters didn't want to fight for the UFC.
