The UK never gets good fights. Have they ever done a title fight at UFC london?

wouldn't be worth their time would it? PPV rates and the like?
What is needed, is the situation like the WWF in the early 90s, where american market tanks and the Euro market keeps it afloat. Then you'd get the good stuff in the UK.

The fighters may prefer it, but that doesn't mean they know what's good for them. Such drastic weight-cuts and regaining in such a short space of time are not good for the body. They should be fighting at their 'natural' weight.

That link I posted showed 13 fighters on one card breaking the CASC rules on weight cutting but still being allowed to fight without sanction

Quite, what the fighter's want doesn't always (if at all) coincide with what should happen.

rugby tackles are similar to wrestling take-downs.
