There are a few burgeoning promotions attempting to take things in the right direction... High-level European fighters and the best of the domestic guys. Unfortunately, for the majority of people who buy tickets for events the names and accomplishments don't matter. They're buying tickets to see a friend or see two blokes "twat each other" and herein lies the problem: you're expending a lot more money on better fighters but it will usually make little difference in ticket sales because the 'hardcores' would have been there anyway and the 'casuals' don't care...
Anyway, top promotions in the UK at the moment IMO are:
OMMAC
Strike and Submit
UC
Knuckleup
Bushido Challenge
There are thousands of others though.
