It sounds crazy, maybe, I just feel the sport needs to move faster for it to be successful. The more a fighter fights, the more people know of him. They also have a better gage as to how impressive or how unimpressive a fighter is. It builds bigger fights, gets more money, would get more exposure to the undercard and overall helps the sport.
The Soup belts shouldn't even be thought of. There should be two belts per divison. And for big events, the titles can be unified. The reason for this is simple. If a champion is TRULY great, he'll eventually have both titles. Let's say he retires or vacates the titles though. There then are two champions. This way we double the chances of finding a worthy champion to fill the void. Because once both titles are won, they should be forced to defend against eachother.
This concept would have more division tournements, which means the cream of the crop would rise much faster, and we'd get better fights, more often then not. There should be a top ten for only one title. But the top four would fight in two matches once the title was vacate, for whatever reason. Then the winners fight eachother to determine the unified champion.
The way the champion should defend is as follows (in my personal opinion.) His first defense can be against anyone. Then he must face his mandotory. And so on, and so forth.
In terms of fees. Fighters should not pay fees. The organization that would run this should get an overall percentage from the gate, buyrate, and advertisements. As well as whatever the casino is willing to pay. That money can be used to advertise big fights, and earn more exposure. Also, it can go to benefit a fighter or his family if a ring death/accident occurs.
That's of course, only going to happen in my perfect little world.
