The way to look at this is if you are paying for this, then the main event is the Spider fighting 3 rounds against a young talented and dangerous prospect. After that fight is over, the post-fight chatter will be interrupted with some silly bullshit about a title fight in a division that might not exist in 6 months between fighters who do not deserve to be anywhere near a title fight.

The PPV buys for this is going to really suck bad because casual fans are going to look at the top of the card, laugh, and make other plans. There will be other PPV's later this year which have better buys but end up being a lot worse than this PPV, because there's a couple fun and interesting fights on this card, but even for the hard-core fight fan, its tough to pay $50 or $60 for this. This should have been a FS1 card or maybe a UFC on FOX. I plan to watch this at a BWW or something because its good enough that I don't want to just skip it, but I'm not buying this.

Sunday

nothing

Is Holm vs de Randemei off? Or is it just not rally main event worthy?
