    Im counting the 3 main fights because those are the bouts people are paying for... Im a huge fan of the UFC! You don't know me..

    The Main event was lame.. This was not PPV worthy. The fights would of been great for a free tv showing. Just saying.

    People don't ****ing pay 50$ bucks to watch the first fight or two... Unless it's a super stacked card.. Lets be real here, they pay because the Main event and the co main-event has big names and promises a good scrap!

    I dont remember anyone getting upset about Silva/Bonnar even tho everyone knew it was a blatant mismatch and people paid to see it so why are everyone getting all up and arms about Rousey/Carmouche

    The Main event sucked ****!

    What has Ronda done to deserve a Main event PPV? Look who she fought? And she won by 1st round Arm bar... The real question is why didn't Dana have her fight a real fighter, Cyborg!

    What Dana did was good for business but not good for die hard fans. He shitted on us man.

    I didn't like that either... Everyone knew that was a joke. I was drunk as **** and I watched it at a friends house!

    Only issue with this is that Hendo/Machida and Faber/Menjivar are very much PPV worthy fights. On paper, Hendo/Machida could/should easily have been a PPV headliner.

    Prelims are free... The first few fights on a PPV could be good fights.. But when it comes to grading a PPV... As I said earlier you have to talk about the main 3 fights bro! This card did not deliver. I wanted to see Machida-Hendo in a 5 round battle.. Dana should of put Ronda as the co-main event...

    Why would you grade it on 3 fights and not 5? You pay for 5.

    I wish Machida-Hendo was the headliner.. Then the action would of picked up in the 4th and 5th rounds. We all know Machida is a slow starter.. It could have changed my view on this whole card.. Dana wanted to promote the hell out of Ronda and get a new fan base.. Women! We all know the Ronda fight should of been the opener for the card... Hell Dana could of even put it as the co-main event for business purposes.. But he put it as the main event like a ****en jerk!

    If the first 2 fights are awesome and the last 3 bomb it's still a Fail! You have to look at the money fights when it's a PPV!

    The same with Boxing... Most of the time it's just the main event! Because they put alot of garbage fights on the undercard.. Especially Top Rank.

    People who are fans of mma just want to see good fights, im not just interested in big names, quite often the best fights can happen in the prelims.

    I guess I just don't really care that about about the fight order. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference to me.

    I love watching good fights... The Fox cards, The ultimate fighter show, local shows etc... When it comes to PPV, you don't put Rousey against an inferior opponent as the main event.. That dumb bald headed, big ego having ****... And I usually talk good about Dana White. I always stick up for him.. That was a horrible decision to have Rousey as the main event!

    Look at UFC 158...

    We got GSP vs. Diaz and Condit vs. Hendricks... 2 very good fights on paper. Pretty damn good headliners... Even though Mcdonald got injured, Hendrick is an exciting fighter to watch and he's a good replacement.

    Now don't get me wrong... I watch the whole main card and the prelims. Im not a casual fan. I just appreciate a good Main and co Main event!
