Let me start by saying I like the UFC and I like Forrest Griffin.  I appreciate how he enters the octagon to Shipping Off To Boston to try and get our championship mojo to rub off on him.   And I still maintain that his fight against Matt Bonner at the end of the first season of the Ultimate Fighter was one of the best fights I’ve ever seen in my life.   But having said that I do think the UFC has a major and I mean major problem.   It appears that nobody is good enough to remain champion.   I’m not sure whether it’s just the nature of a sport where anybody can lose on a fluke submission hold or the fact that everybody is almost equal in ability.    But whatever the case may be the UFC needs a champion that can reign longer than a couple months.    They need somebody who can keep the title long enough so they can become a household name.   Because parity just doesn’t work in fighting sports like the UFC and Boxing.  It’s the Mike Tyson factor if you will.    You need somebody who everybody wants to see and who can build hype in each fight.   But if no champion can defend the belt for more than a couple fights it’s impossible to get the crossover fans and it takes away from the sport.   Right now I would say this is the UFC’s #1 problem in truly crossing over into a mainstream sport.  They need a superstar.  Maybe Forrest Griffin is it, but I doubt it.
