I gotta disagree man. It's good for the sport because I think that, after, Randy, Matt, and Gabe, fighters are no longer going to afford themselves the luxury of "looking past" their next opponent.
I happen to LOVE the upset. I LOVE when the belt changes hands.
The upset and the loss is the point in a fighters career when we learn weather that person in a True Champion or just the Current Champion. Compare Randy Couture to Andre Arlovski. AA seems to have lost that killer instinct and desire to WIN the fight. Not just take the decision and get a victory but WIN.
So maybe the term "best fighter in the world" is more convoluted than simply who is the current champ or who is the favorite.
OK...had a few beers...hope some of that made sense!
