I think there is no doubt that the UFC has its throat exposed right now... if they aren't careful, someone will go in for the kill.
Losing Arlovski, Tito, and even Cro Cop (1-2 in the UFC or not, people still watch his fights) will send $$$ to other organizations. Add the fact that they are tied up in a lawsuit with Randy and could lose him as well. That is 4 of the biggest names in MMA, in 1 year. All names that will sell fights.
Additionally, DREAM seems to be getting a lot of talk, hype, and excitement.. much more than EXC, M1, HEROES, etc.
If DREAM can keep signing names and give us good shows (with the two GPs they have coming up, I can't imagine we will get anything but good fights).. DREAM will be real competition and fighters will follow. UFC could be in serious trouble.
