That's what they've done in the past though. Couture held that title and they didn't strip him while they were in a pissing contest over contracts. When he came back it kept the legitimacy of who the champion was. I'm not sure that having 2 belts really holds up the division. It recognizes the guys who have won, while letting the other champs stay relevant, if only in name. I do see your point though, and perhaps it does hold them back a little bit, but you know what Ric Flair would say.
I know GSP's contract stipulated that he would have to defend at 185 if he won the title, but it sounds like they simply renegotiated everything. No way he should be fighting at 185 anyway. Carrying that much weight is silly on his smaller frame.
