I've always blamed the UFC.
Seems like one thing the UFC never wanted to cave on was doing it a catch weight. I really don't get why not or why any fans take that stance also. What is so wrong with two great champs coming together for a great fight with each fighter giving or taking a little on the weight. There isn't a situation that doesn't hold up divisions so who cares.
Money is also the other big reason. At that time UFC could've easily paid GSP n Silva 10M each with out a problem. That was 1M buy PPV on the low end. Chances are it would've done mid 1's.
