Dean: You could say similar during K-1's early years with fighters from all styles fighting the leading champions. Although, your comment is not without merit.

Also, the saying "Fighters make the titles", i believe, is rubbish. There's a few promotions out there with 'show titles' on them, that proclaim to be 'British' 'European' 'International' championship titles, yet outside of the area/region, nobody's really heard of them. You could get two of the UK's most known & respected fighters fight each other for the Ring Commando Ninja World title, but what does that mean? Very little. Getting two well known fighters in is an achievement, yes, but daft titles are daft titles. To me, the only way you can get a title to mean something is by two ways - firstly, to have been around a long time and have representation in lots of countries around the world. Or secondly, have a TV contract and pay big purses.
