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).
