Meanwhile, Tate- Carmouche is CO Main. I'm not saying that fight will suck, cause it wont, but certainly this one is more deserving and meaningful title-wise; both opponents are on a wining streak while Tate is 1-3 and Carmouche 2-2 on their last 4, both coming off a loss.

^I love that show
1. this fight should be on the main card, there´s no reason why it shouldn´t
2. I get Misha vs Carmouche as co main, the UFC is pushing hard with WMMA because they know Ronda won´t keep fighting for much longer, so they need to build interest in other woman fighters because the UFC name/brand will look bad if they have to cancel WMMA due to lack of interest just because 1 fighter retired.
that being said I don´t care Misha vs Liz as co main but it does bother the **** out of me this fight not being in the main card

Dana said "what kind of ******** question was that?"
I thought the question was legit.

And Joe may be top 5 (let's be honest, top 2-3) but he's fighting a dude outside most people's top 10 so the fight is perfect for (again, as the UFC put it) headlining the undercard and giving a last minute booster of PPV buys/main event ratings.
That's their M/O ... the undercard headliner may many a time be better that the first 2 fights on the main card because it's "headlining" and "oomphing" main card buys/ratings.
By the way, I'm not stating my personal opinion on whether that's a good strategy or not (it probably is, but I'm too ignorant on the subject to have a proper opinion), just explaining it from the UFC's POV, which I'm guessing on from comments here and there from the commentators, TV presenters and Dana's remarks. They seem to use the "undercard headliner" phrase quite naturally as if it's a "thing".

Prelims would be the non-main card fights. So at UFC on Fox 11 that would be all the fights from Lewis/May to RDA/Khabib.
But the undercard would be all the fights from Lewis/May to Romero/Tavares. Main event was Browne/Werdum, co-main was Tate/Carmouche.
EDIT: Here's the definition used on wikipedia.
