3. Crowning A Champ Brings Value
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaFkgKQIBBc You can't always establish a new division - there simply aren't enough weight classes out there, though the UFC should probably consider both flyweight and featherweight divisions for the women over the next couple of years - but you can make the Ultimate Fighter mean something. How? Award a title shot to the winner. Doing it this season kept up interest. It made each and every fight mean something, to both fans and fighters. It kept the fighters working at their highest level and ensured they gave their best inside the octagon. You can't do this every season, but a season with veteran fighters with a title shot on the line - that's something the UFC needs to consider.
