Heavier weight title fights have always followed lighter in UFC. This significantly diminishes welter weight class and its title.
Because everyone is talking about lawler mcdonald 2 nonstop
Kind of a dumb thing to complain about, we all know what the main event is
Love these two title fight ppvs tho 
Rousey's UFC women's bantamweight title defense against Cat Zingano will go on second-to-last at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb 28. The UFC middleweight title fight between Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort will headline the event.
"It has nothing to with her not being a star. It goes by weight," Dana White said. "If she was the highest weighted champion on the card, she would be the main event, but you have two guys that are middleweights and she weighs 135 pounds - so she's the co-main."
^ great post fluffy, I will vote it up as soon as I can
I'm Irish and live in Dublin.. I've followed Conor's career since 2009 I support him and am rooting for him.. But it shouldn't be main event IMO.. Also the fact Dana has stated multiple times the biggest weight on a title fight card will always be main event.. It makes me think that maybe people are right about Dana and I was just dumb for believing him and defending him

Ive heard this a lot in the past but seriously guys, we all know the main event. I think the difference with rousey as comain is weidman belfort was also a pretty marketable fight going in. No ones talking about lawler vs mcdonald
The only other time a lighter weight title headlined over a heavier weight title was I think Faber vs Barao, which was interim title vs regular title, so like a double title fight.
How dare a fucking promoter attempt to maximise revenue through fight promotion in order to exceed the millions spent on advertising and profit from their investment.
What a piece of shit, right guys?

another cool post, thank you.
And its not like people will walk out of the arena after aldo´s fight and before welter weight title fight if aldo vs mcgreggor was co-main event. And even if, ufc wouldnt lose any money because of that. This is definitely not good in the long term.
I dont care which fight they promote more but this needs to be corrected.

Dana said he was overruled in the meeting when he stated that Lawler v Rory should be the last fight.

LastMinuteReplacement -Actually people might. I don't think that you can overestimate how much of this card's draw is Conor. I'm sure Robbie doesn't care, he's going to be getting a monster PPV bonus so he's probably cool with wherever they put him.GeorgJonesSilva - I'm Irish and live in Dublin..

If the early numbers are true, he's going to be clearing close to $4 million. For that muvh money I'm sure he'd be cool with being on FightPass.
Never understood why people thought this mattered.
Hughes-GSP II headlined over Sylvia-Monson
Good luck in your fight Rory.

Stop listening to White. It's all about money just enjoy fights
Surly - Hughes-GSP II headlined over Sylvia-MonsonAnd boy was that the right call.
LastMinuteReplacement -This is where you might be wrong. I was at UFC 178 where conor was third to last on the card. There were a ton of Irish fans there and I'd say about a third of them left after he fought. Cowboy and Alvarez were in the cage fighting and you could hear them all singing in the foyer. The card was over for them.GeorgJonesSilva - I'm Irish and live in Dublin.. I've followed Conor's career since 2009 I support him and am rooting for him.. But it shouldn't be main event IMO..

I think a good portion of the Irish fans don't give a shit about the UFC or mma really. They care only about supporting their guy.
You people will complain about anything. Fuck off
