Horrible selection. What the fuck is going through the UFC's heads there.? They dont put Thiago on the main card when he's fighting Fitch, but they put him on the main card to fight Vaukman.? The win over Kos aside, Thiago is not a player in the WW division and should not be used in such a position. Maybe after a few more wins but not now. Davis/Saunders is a much better style match up, it's a better fight. and the UFC will regret this decision.
my guess is that they advertised saunders vs. davis for spike and they felt like it was too short notice to change that. plus davis vs. saunders is a better draw for spike.
I agree with Fabes. But I do wish they would've swapped out the Rosholt-Grove fight instead. :(
Either way it goes they put some great fights for the Spike prelims. The undercard guys will get some well deserved exposure
More people will see Davis/Saunders on Spike than will see Thiago/Vaulkman on PPV.

If I remember correctly, Thiago vs Fitch was on the main card after the main event?, and why would the UFC regret the decision when the Davis vs Saunders will be broadcasted regardless through spike for free?
