More legit men's title fights tonight than on Saturday = UFC 200 fail.

Thank god for tonight's card, at least we get to see one legit men's championship fight on International Fight Week, no thanks to Bones and UFC 200. Unless they really do find a last minute opponent to fight DC for his.

Coulda had Lawler but nooooo..... Dana had to have Brock or Ronda or McTapper headlining 200

They could have easily put Lawler as co-main instead of that pointless Tate vs. Nunes fight, but he could never be the original headliner.

Disagree. His fights are epic and in today's UFC he's one of the few current champs with an active win streak of defenses as champ. A superfight between him and GSP would've ben huuuuuge.

they should for sure not have brock and lesnar headlining, in a 3 round fight. give us aldo vs frankie main event!

The FW title fight is still totally legit. And everybody knows it.

Agree, the main event should have at least two people in it.

(sorry, I had to)

A pointless BW world title fight.

Did you actually read that back to yourself before posting it ?

As much as I'm sick of Conor's bullshit ducking Edgar, he is still the legit FW champ.

It's a squash match, Nunes gasses after 5 minutes. They're just keeping Tate busy until they find out what Rondas plans are.

GSP wasn't available and that would only be a headliner because GSP is fighting, not because of Lawler.

Granted GSP is a much bigger name/draw, but Lawler would be bringing the title to the equation - kinda important, dont you think?

In a day where within the space of 18 months we will have had 4 PPV main events that didn't have titles, no.

Blame mctapper for being afraid to cut weight

And blame Jones for....being Jones?

Yeah thats my point, its fucking stupid. People would rather see Brock fight anything than say, the Stipe vs Reem fight. I understand the logic behind it in terms of profit, I'm just speaking as a fan. I don't give a shit how much money they make.
