I'll agree with this, and it may already be happening. With the disappearance of Pride (which IMO was WAY better than UFC) it leaves the door wide open for bad promotion and boredom because there's no real competition in the mainstream for the ratings.
As far as the Tyson debate goes, I think too many people think that devastating power accounts for easy wins. There are tons of UFC, Pride and the other organizations fighters that would destroy Tyson before he could unleash his power. Now I'm sure Tyson would be intimidating and even win some fights because I'm sure he's been in quite a few street fights, but it's alot more than basic street fighting when it comes to MMA. Skills are required.
