One MW, two FW, and the rest BW and under.

If every card in history weighed in, surely this is the lightest.
 
It’s light in terms of quality fights outside the main event for sure
 
"p4p the lightest" seems like an oxymoron.
 
To be fair, all of those weight classes look stronger than LHW and HW right now.
 
Bantamweight T.J. Dillashaw (c) vs. Cody Garbrandt
Flyweight Demetrious Johnson (c) vs. Henry Cejudo
Middleweight Thiago Santos vs. Kevin Holland
Women's Strawweight Polyana Viana vs. JJ Aldrich
Featherweight Cub Swanson vs. Renato Moicano

Preliminary Card (FX)

Bantamweight Pedro Munhoz vs. Brett Johns
Bantamweight Ricky Simon vs. Montel Jackson
Women's Bantamweight Bethe Correia vs. Irene Aldana
Featherweight Matt Sayles vs. Sheymon Moraes

Early Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass)

Flyweight Jose Torres vs. Alex Perez
Bantamweight Ricardo Ramos vs. Kyung Ho Kang
Women's Strawweight Danielle Taylor vs. Zhang Weili
Bantamweight Marlon Vera vs. Wuliji Buren

The main and co-main should be fun, Santos is always entertaining, Cub vs Moicano is a great fight too. Munhoz, Vera, Ramos are all pretty fun too. 6.5/10 I'd say.
 
DC and Brock combined almost weigh more than the 4 fighters on main and co main.

If you went weight to person % then it's gotta be but there are 26 fighters tonight so definitely not overall.I remember cards back in the day being about 6 fights sometimes.Modern day there's been some 9 fight cards and I think one 8 fight card so those could possibly be close in overall weight but no way lightest in history.
 
I like it. Should at least be plenty of pace to all the fights.

The HBO Superfly boxing series has been terrific. UFC should look to replicate it.

The difference though is HBO differentiates it from their other boxing products, while the UFC just stacks these fights under the same ppv model and price, so people start to question the value of it. I agree with you though, the UFC should do this type of thing with their ESPN streaming platform, including WMMA focused cards, but not with PPV.
