UFC 198 will only be the 3rd time Silva hasn't headlined

[GrantB13]

Every other fight aside from his debut with Leben and his fight with Griffin since there was a championship fight on the card. It's gonna be weird not finishing the night with Anderson Silva. I'm assuming Souza/Belfort is co-main because it's a higher ranking fight?

 

[rraaju]

it's sad but normal

Went from seemingly invincible to losing to bisping. Hard to watch

 

[SocraticMethod]

Silva vs. Leben wasn't the main event of that Fight Night card?

As far as I recall, it was.

As far as I recall, it was.

I thought so too.

no, it wasnt.

Goulet v Cummo was...

or maybe it wsnt, because the poster has Silva v Leiben

This is the first time Anderson isn't main or co-main in the UFC.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

The bout order of that main card is an atrocity.

hmm, sherdog calls it Silva v Leiben and has Goulet Cummo as main event, as does wiki

GSP hasn't headlined more times than that.

I didn't check wiki but they put the last fight of the night at top in sherdog fight finder. Sometimes on cards on TV they have fights on after the main event to make sure the main event doesn't play after their time slot. Bellator does it too

Look at my next post

 

[PeterGriffin]

I'm almost 100 percent sure Leben and Silva was the main event.

 

[SocraticMethod]

no, it wasnt.

or maybe it wsnt, because the poster has Silva v Leiben

So this is weird:

http://www.sherdog.com/events/UFC-Fight-Night-5-Leben-vs-Silva-3815

It refers to the event as Leben vs. Silva, but then calls Goulet/Cummo the main event. I wonder if maybe Goulet/Cummo was a swing fight and it wound up going on last, but Silva/Leben was the scheduled headliner?

According to Goldie it was the main event. He's not the brightest, but I can't recall him dropping the ball on that one before.

 

[GrantB13]

Yeah I'm confused to. I used Wikipedia to check and they list it as co main. Seems weird that it would've have been. That seems like a crap main even if it's true.
