Media Has a non main event ever carried an entire card like Charles Benny for UFC 289?

[ExitLUPin]

If Charles Benny got axed for a late pullout this card is worse than 95% of Fight Night cards. HORRENDOUS absolutely REVOLTING card. Nasty work by UFC. These 2 are CARRYING.

There's a good chance the main event is spectacular (both gals' last fights were great). It's a crime that Oliveira-Dariush is 3 rounds though!

For sure, I think most people who generally pay for PPVs won't buy this one if this fight dropped off.

I can’t think of any off the top of my head

but I am positive there are some

Really. I assume it’ll be Nunes laying on her for 25 minutes. Similar to when she fought JDR.

the only interesting fight on that card

Ufc 237

Everyone was way more interested in Volk Vs Aldo than Rose Vs Andrade

Nina is gonna be so upset if this happens again!!

Probably some with a women's main event. There have been a decent number with a more interesting co main than main event, but I don't recall very many PPVs where the entire main card was so bad.

Gsp Vs Bj Penn part 1 was way more anticipated than Ace Vs the Crow

Right? Chris Curtis (whom I like) is the next big name. And the main is obviously weak.

What's good about it is that if you're out watching at a bar, you can now leave early.

There is also a good chance nunes just walks over her and it is a non-event. The bookies have her at 1.29 which is a pretty strong fav for a title fight.

To be honest it doesn't really matter at this point because the rest of the card is so weak. It is almost like the UFC hates Nunes and wants her to fail because they haven't filled the card with fighters people want to watch. UFC isn't like boxing, people expect the majority of a PPV to be good. You aren't just buying the main you are buying a bunch of good fights (well meant to be).

This card is going to Tank not just because of the bad main, but because of the weak card around the main. You might get away with this if it was Conor, but not Nunes. To be honest if it was Conor they would fill it will good fights anyway.

I don’t think it really carried the card in the same way as this one is. UFC 237 also had Anderson in the co-main event vs Cannonier

I don't know what the UFC was planning here but it could turn out to be a good card, better than people think. I've seen it happen before. Personally, I think every top 5 ranked matches should be scheduled for 5. The biggest let down here is Dariush-Oliveira only being 3, but maybe that's all they need to get the job done.
