Quoteworthy: Bas Rutten On WAMMA

Bas Rutten speaks on WAMMA and more:
DreamFighters.com: Who do you think should be next to take on Fedor for the WAMMA title?
Bas Rutten: Josh Barnett or Cheik Kongo
DreamFighters.com: What are your thoughts of the WAMMA belt and WAMMA system? We are good friends with WAMMA. Pat Miletich and Mike say Hi.
Bas Rutten: I think it’s a great system, its only going to be difficult when the biggest organization in the world, the UFC, doesn’t work with them. Because then you STILL don’t have a unified world champion. Now, if they keep on going and the rest of the world also gets bigger in MMA, then of course the UFC will have to challenge the WAMMA belt holders because the people want to know, and when the people want to know, Dana White knows that there is money to be made and he’s a good business man. But that’s still going to take while.
I'm confused. Bas Rutten thinks Cheick Kongo should fight Fedor for the WAMMA title? I don't know who brainwashed Bas, but WAMMA is of the suck. The UFC will not have to do anything as long as they have the recognized best fighters in the world as their champions. So actually, it's vice versa and WAMMA should recognize the UFC champions as WAMMA champions if they want to be considered legitimate in my opinion. I mean, how can they not recognize Rashad Evans, Anderson Silva, and GSP as WAMMA champions? Hell, even BJ Penn as the LW champ since he's pretty much the consensus #1 lightweight in the world? They have Fedor who is legitimate, but after that their rankings are about as good as those women's MMA rankings they released last week.

I cant see how anyone could seriously consider these guys authorities, even more so when you look at the list of who the “WAMMA officers” are. The only truly legit guy they have is Pat Miletich.
...some call me "el mexicutioner"...
He’s not even legit…in terms of ranking fighters…as a trainer of course he’s going to be biased with fighters in his camp.

Why is it I can see the top 1/2 inch of Bas Rutten’s head and I know it’s him? Man we has a wicked skull… :) But I do love to listen to him.
Thanks,

Like Kelvin said, it doesn’t matter what the WAMMA says or does, if the UFC doesn’t acknowledge them, they simply don’t matter. Being the best fighter outside of the UFC is great, but considering that the UFC has 90% of the good fighters in the world you’re essentially saying you’re the best of the worst. Sure, there are a few guys that just don’t have interest in the UFC (Aoki, Fedor, Barnett), but for the most part WAMMA is a bigger joke than it’s board members.
