Hendo Machida by far.

I have no problem with female fights, just can't get excited about a main event that's probably going to be as competitive as Randy vs Toney.

Neither of them are draws. Rampage/Machida did 500k (Rampage is a proven draw).

The posters here make up a minor section of the overall MMA fanbase.
all of Machida's fights have done over 500k besides Jones which is actually pretty good and its not like Rampage vs Jones was much better with buys lol. Rampage is such a huge drawn over machida is why he only did 520k buys against Jones?

Jones/Machida had a sub-par undercard.

Without a doubt, Hendo-Machida is the main reason for me even paying attention to this card. I haven't even thought about the actual main event because I could care less about WMMA--I always thought it be best if they had a separate promotion as this fight is the reason why I am not going to buy this card.

Rousey-Carmouche is not worth $60. Sorry, but it isn't. Its probably the least worthy ppv main event in UFC history. Carmouche has no business to be fighting for the title and Rousey is good (for a female fighter) but has no worthy competition. I'll watch the event for the Hendo-Machida fight (which is the deserved main event) and only watch the Rousey fight IF she can finish it in a few minutes. Rousey-Carmouche is not worth a 25 minute investment LOL.

To tell the truth, I understand that DW feels that championship fights should be main events but in this case, making it a co-main event or even lower makes the card more worthy as Hendo and Machida would give credibility to the card and the whole Rousey-Carmouche thing would be like icing on the cake as far as promotion is concerned. I know that even if Hendo gasses, I'd rather see 25 minutes of Hendo-Machida (two world class athletes) than Rousey-Carmouche (good but only on a female standard).
