Just a thought after the Rousey in the UFC announcement, has zuffa come up with a great idea or there own or just always take or do what someone else has created first?

Women in the forefront - Gary Shaw/EliteXC/Showtime

Lighter weights spotlighted - WEC mostly, Japan had its place also

TUF - Spike

The Octogon, MMA rules, tourneys - Old SEG/Rorion Gracie

Pro wrestlers being featured - PRIDE, Japan

Stuff like the ref can, fight stats, etc...- Japan, SF

If they can't get tv, who do the Ferttitas sell to?

[Warner2BruceTD]

Since Heyman is a big MMA fan, and he knew Vince never listened to a thing he suggested to him anyway, I wonder if he manipulated Vince in typical Heyman fashion by talking so strongly against it. His exact words were said to be "They will end up crushing us on PPV if you let them on TV, and it will be our fans". He had to know Vince would take that as some sort of challenge. Right? I'm joking, but i'm kinda not.
