At UFC 157, Ronda Rousey's first defense of the women's bantamweight belt against Liz Carmouche is the main event. It's the only title fight on the card, and title fights getting main event status is a rule the UFC doesn't often break.
That didn't sit well with Dan Henderson's camp. He is fighting Lyoto Machida on the same card, and doesn't like being the second biggest name on the card. Gus Pugliese, Henderson's striking coach, told this to Gracie Magazine:
“Where I come from, there’s a pecking order for anything in life,” he said. “I believe in paying dues. In this particular case, ‘Hendo’ and Machida paid their dues a long time ago. For someone new to come in and have a free ride just seems unfair to them and the whole sport they helped build.”

if you headline and you get all the promo before the fight,
it makes a future title fight more marketable.
so he kinda got screwed again.

liz and ronda should be on a non pay per view
plain and simple
dana wants it on pay per view so that he can put legends and fighters people want to see on the card so it will appear people bought it for ronda.
just watch
the pay per view will be huge and dana during the post fight conf will say " look look at the numbers, people really wanna see ronda. its the ronda show."

If Dan wants to complain then he should fight for the belt and then its a moot point since he outweighs Rousey. If he doesn't understand that title fights are main events then he should go to another card. I love Dan's resume/legacy, I have been a fan ever since I saw him lose an exhibition match to Frank Shamrock over 10 years ago, but this is silly, unprofessional, and divaesque.
