I understand the need for more rules for whatever State agency to allow to expansion of the franchise and certainly makes sense monetarily.
I appreciate what UFC has done for the MA and Traditional MA worlds.
But it seems so far away from its original premise? All things held equal, prefer the old way of running UFC.

If you want UFC to go back to that then keep waiting. The only reason UFC came out from the underground is because of the current rules. The way it used to be was just barbaric and it would never fly on any tv network that way. Someone would have eventually died in the ring that way. Many mainstream media types still see it that way and it is a fight for MMA to gain wide acceptance and they don't want to go back to the bad old days.
