All top card fights - title matches, main and co-main events need to be given a replacement fighter announced at the time of the fight. For example, it would look like this:
"We are proud to announce GSP vs Michael Bisping with Demian Maia as a replacement fighter!" - Then, Maia could be given a fight on the same card - with the stipulation that if either GSP or Bisping pulls out, Maia will be inserted. This gives all fighters a fair chance - both fighters know who the potential replacement is, the potential replacement knows to be on the A-Game, and is given a fight - with the knowledge that he will be promoted if one of the contestants has an issue.
I think this would be a brilliant way to salvage many cards broken by injury.
