Am I mistaken or didn't Dana White always say the higher weight class would be the main event on a card where their are two championship bouts?

Yep. They said it's because there's a champ vs champ matchup. Makes sense to me. Phone Post 3.0

I personally don't really like Cruz, he's boring.

It was the right decision. Cruz vs. Barao is what people want to see. Phone Post 3.0

They made an exception because of the significance of Barao/Cruz.

Forrest and Rashad was the main event for the LHW title over Big Nog and Mir at UFC 92. Nothing new. Champion vs. champion a top the card is something they can promote better than Aldo. Phone Post 3.0
