can you build a card PPV worthy with no top ten fighters?

[EmeliankoFan1]

Vitor Belfort vs. Rafael Cavalcante
Minotauro Nogueira vs. Soa Palelei
Rustam Khabilov vs. Edson Barboza
Conor McGregor vs. Jeremy Stephens
Kevin Gastelum vs. Gunnar Nelson

Vitor is a top ten fighter and an elite(at least on TRT).

TS, I dont know if you can pull it off without it being fan favorites.

 

[ufc_vs_pride]

Rampage vs King Mo
Tito vs Shlemenko
Chandler vs a guy

Bellator didn't do it on purpose

 

[GrAtI]

Main Card:
Le vs. Wand 2
Franklin vs. Mousasi Co ME
Arlovski vs. Nogueira
Stephens vs. Mcgregor
Kampmann vs. Gastelum

Don't you all know you just need to put Nick Diaz on as a headliner and the card will get over 900k buys.
(and he isn't a top 10 fighter now)

 

[Philtard]

Hang on a minute, these cards look better than some of the actual UFC events.. Wtf?!

 

[Goughy]

Mousasi vs Belfort (pick a weight)
Struve vs Schaub
Arlovski vs Nogueira
Saffiedine vs Nelson
Manuwa vs OSP
Barnatt vs Hall

 

[M4R5]

fedor vs brock main event

 

[Yolandabecool**]

Easily. In any order [GSP & Diaz are cheating btw]

No worse than any of the cards they have assembled lately.

Manuwa v Maldonado
Romero v Mousasi
Gastelum v Nelson
Stevens v McGregor
Palelei v Shaub

It's even easier if you can use Bellator fighters.

 

[Arkain2K]

Ofcourse you could. Anyone who says otherwise is a noob.

Filling every slot on the Prelims with exciting strikers ranking #11 to #15, add in some big names like Le, Wand, Franklin, Sexyama for the Main Card, and you'll have a stacked card with more value and a hell lot more fun than most actual PPVs.

[Lethal_Striker]

Are we talking overall MMA rankings which only rank 10 fighters and not all of them guaranteed to be in the UFC or are you talking about the UFC rankings which technically rank 16 guys all of them in the UFC?

[Dreaming Dead]

It would have a lot of LW fights. Very stacked division with many awesome non top ten fighters.
