They should have to wear a belt with a huge buckle with their name on it. Everytime they get a win they get a bigger buckle.

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.

I quite like the concept of the belt system but it's kinda cheesey, I do agree with earning the right and making your way up to the top level. Although signing pros from major orgs would cause a problem. Would you have had Mirko start as a white belt when he came in. Novel concept though, I do like aspects of it

Guess its just the Japanese in me who desires order in the system.

This system will also eliminate the upsets in the sport if you think about it.
