UFC, stop with the "co-main events"

2: in or to the same degree"

Co-main suggests that the bout is of equal importance or significance to the main event. In the case of cards with multiple title fights, that's the correct usage of the term co main.

This card doesn't have a co-main. It has a second last fight between two fighters with a UFC record of 0-1. That's not a co-main and I wish they'd stop calling every second last fight a co-main.

What other cards had fights that shouldn't have been called co-mains?

What’s the co main event for the Lewis vs Gane PPV card?

 

[PatrickBatemanVHS]

Fight nights don’t have co main events. Only PPVs do. I thought this was common knowledge?

As noted in the pbp thread, this is the 5th fight that was labeled co main. The original was supposed to be a #1 contender fight between Askarov and Perez

Aldo

 

[Jackonfire]

Tonight's co-main was due to circumstances. And it delivered.

I swear y’all get so triggered over nothing. All this because the fighters are women? Get some goddamn help


It doesn’t fucking matter what they call it.

I really don't give a fuck

Was a great showing indeed. Circumstances is correct as well, but when the original co main was lost so should the term.

What do women have to do with it?

And I agree with your second point - it doesn't matter what they call it, so just call it what it is, just another fight

Semantics…

The Co-main gives them insurance for if the main is cancelled. It more about saying the fight is as good as a main.

So...?

[GordaoPreguico]

Honestly this grinds my gears too.

Imagine giving a shit about this.

If you haven’t heard of Sean Strickland then you just don’t watch fights.

It's just words, Bruh.

I have been watching since UFC 1, i have also seen all the pride events and about a dozen or so Strikeforce and Bellator shows.
