Well, I understand that they have a huge roster to support, but no clear distinction in quality has been apparent between many PPV main cards and FOX and FS1 main cards in 2014.
Hopefully this is a step back toward stacked PPV cards instead of a rare occurrence.

I agree Skellier. Headliners are the main factor in PPV sales.

So I think I partially agree with @Mike but that there is a bit more to it.

That said, I still think it's a decent fight, but just not a fight I can get too hyped for.
Conor vs Dustin
Cat vs Nunes
Eddie vs Cowboy
Green vs Masvidal
Actually, all the fights look damn good to me.

EDIT:: Though I disagree about MM not being sold to the casual fan ... he's been plenty sold, he's headlined Fox cards and been thrusted down everyone's throat (rightfully so) ... problem is the casual fan ain't buying because all "he" likes is seeing colossal big guys knocking each other out. The casual fan is stupid.
Also, MM's lack of colourful character isn't helping him a lot either, but what can you do, that's the way he is, at least he's not attempting to fake it like Kennedy or Lentz. It comes out pretty weird when it isn't natural. He's a great champion and doesn't need to fake anything.

I dont know who why the flyweights get so much ****. I understand the lack of depth in the division, but with the expansion into the asian and Mexican markets thats quickly going to change. They put on really exciting, fast paced fights, and they're extremely technical, which i like. I understand they don't score the knockout as much as the heavy guys but for me mma isn't about Knocking people out. if all i wanted to see was fouls get knocked stiff id just go to worldstar hiphop and watch there videos of idiots flinging fists. I love the technique of the sport, which is in every sense of the word, an art form. Flyweight is by far my favorite division and im totally not saying that because im 5'3.
