I really can't agree with that, at all.

The UFC wants to bring in CM Punk? Fine, I don't care. If they try to make him the headliner of a PPV, I don't have to buy it. If his fight is free, sure I'll tune in out of curiosity and laugh at him if he loses.

The UFC is, eventually in the long-run, a meritocracy. Regardless of if you think the matchmakers are doing a great job or are incompetent clowns, the best fighters are always going to make themselves known and eventually force the UFC to give them the title shot. If a champion doesn't deserve his belt, he'll eventually lose it or be forced to vacate.

CM Punk is not taking the spot of anyone important. If he's taking anyone's spot, its some random unknown nobody toiling away in a local promotion with maybe a 5-1 record who now has to wait 4 or 5 more months to finally get the call.
