That makes things just waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated.

One belt per weight...we dont want MMA to become boxing with the WBF, IBF, WBO, ABCDEF, GJEASF and 36 other belts for each weight class.

[stand up wit me]

They Should Have A Top 25 Ranking For Each Weight Class!

[Brian Akers]

They all have the same belt.... It's the Professional Fighter colored belt... Oh.. But the Champ gets to wear his all the time around town because his is shiney... OK no that's just Tim. Excuse... WAS Tim... lol

Thread = WTF R U SMOKIN' SON!?!?!?

And to advance to a green belt, he must beat a fighter who is already a green belt, and so on until a fighter reaches black belt status. A fighter can be demoted only if he loses twice to a lower ranking belt but can regain the higher color again if he beats a higher rank opponent. Fighters are required to fight a lower ranked belt to be eligible to fight a higer ranking belt. Of course, the only ones allowed to compete for the big championship belt are black belts.

This would be an interesting concept and honors the martial arts tradition of color ranking.

Just posting a novel idea just because theres no MMA this weekend on tv and cant fly to Vegas for the WEC.

Uhh.............NO!

"You know, I had an idea like that once. A long time ago. It was a 'Jump to Conclusions' mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor, and it would have different conclusions written on it that you could jump to."

they should also wear helmets and whenever they do a good job in a match, their coach can give them a star on their helmet

"That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom."

"Yes, this is horrible, this idea."


Thank you sir for the greatest movie reference in the history of Sherdog.
