But then, it's kind of like what happened with... It's kind of what happened with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. They end up making these big fights later on in their careers instead of allowing them to fight in their primes. So, the UFC model is forget about keeping them undefeated. We want the prime fighters at all times. At all times. So, that influence, you know, and the way they put together the fighters, the way they produce the fight from top to bottom is changing.
