If you could set up one PPV main event with fighters from the same division, which division would you choose and what lineup would you create? Here's my lineup for each division, and if I had to choose just one, I'd probably go with Middleweight, but it’s hard to pick.

HW:
-Jones vs Stipe
-Aspinall vs Gane
-Pavlovich vs Almeida
-Volkov vs Spivac
-Tuivasa vs Rozenstruik

LHW:
-Pereira vs Ankalev
-Prochazka vs Hill
-Blachowicz vs Smith
-Krylov vs Rakic
-Rountree vs Walker

MW:
-Duplessis vs Adesanya
-Whitaker vs Chimaev
-Strickland vs Costa
-Cannonier vs Imavov
-Allen vs Vettori

WW:
-Edwards vs Rakhmonov
-Colby vs Garry
-Usman vs MVP
-Della Maddelena vs Brady
-Neal vs Buckley

LW:
-Islam vs Oliveira 2
-Poirier vs Gaethje 3
-Tsarukyan vs Chandler
-Fiziev vs Gamrot
-Hooker vs Moicano

FW:
-Topuria vs Holloway
-Evloev vs Ortega
-Aljo vs Rodriguez
-Allen vs Chidkaze
-Lopes vs Emmet

BW:
-O’Malley vs Merab
-Aldo vs Cejudo
-Sandhagen vs Nurmagomedov
-Yan vs Vera
-Yadong vs Cruz

Middleweight actually looks weirdly great matchup wise.

However, Lightweight is the best cause obviously the 3 of the top 5-6 stars are in there.
Conor, Islam, Oliviera can all sell fights on their own(if you count Conor as a LW). Throw in Gaethje and Poirier which you can sell as well.
 
Hard to go against lw , but me looks way better than I anticipated
 
If the idea is to sell more PPVs I would choose WW, HW or MW.

WW
Conor vs Chandler
Shavkat vs Leon
Colby vs Garry

HW
Jones vs Pereira
Aspinall vs Stipe
Blaydes vs Gane

MW
Adesanya vs Khamzat
DDP vs Strickland 2
Whittaker vs Allen
 
BMF
Holloway vs. Conor
Shavkat vs. Chimaev
Mini-tournament with Gaethje, Oliviera, Chandler, and Poirier
Fiziev vs. Benoit Saint Denis
Aljo vs. Ortega
MVP vs. Michel Pereira

Mario Yamasaki, Just Bleed Russian ref, and Steve Perceval will ref all the fights so that everyone gets to be a warrior.

This wins for me. Have the mini tournament be an open weight afair with winners from the 4 previous cards ready to fight 2 times in one night and it would be the best selling PPV of the modern era.
 
I wouldn't make the same fights, but I think 155 could carry an entire PPV.
 
For everyone who keeps asking why the UFC doesn't do a full WMMA card, this is why. There isn't enough talent in any division to do a card like this when you take timing into consideration.
