Yeah, a lot of casual fans have a lot of interest in Lesnar - Couture.
The majority of people who have been following the sport for a long time would disagree though IMO.
To me it's more important for the credibility of the UFC and therefore the sport in general that the best fighters fight the best fighters; that the most deserving fighter gets the shot and not someone who's 2-1 in MMA and 1-1 in the UFC.
If Brock had destroyed Herring inside a couple of minutes I probably wouldn't be so pissed off but how is a 1st round loss to Mir and a UD over Herring more worthy of a title shot than stopping Vera and Napao.
A ranking system isn't "gay" it simply stops unjust matchups like this happening.
How would you feel if you'd been fighting your whole life, were worthy of a title shot and got passed over for someone who just cos they used to wear tights and pretend to hit people with chairs drew a lot of presumably fickle fans?
