If you glance at the poster quick, you can pretend Jones is facing Weidman. Man that would be an amazing fight.

If no injuries occur to derail anything on the main card (because the card as it is right now makes any preliminary card irrelevant), this will easily be the best MMA PPV all year.

IF and that is a big if this card happens without any injuries or any other setbacks it really would be the greatest main card in the history of the UFC. I love when they put 2 title fights together on one card. I would rather have more time in between PPV's and more 2 title PPV's then how they usually do it.

@p4pgoat  Agreed.  I hate how the UFC has to water down cards so that they can meet their ridiculous schedule demands.  If they just cut down their schedule to say 25 to 30 fight cards a year with a PPV card each month, they would easily do better on PPV as well as the Fight Night cards because they wouldn't be stretched so thin for talent when doing the match making.

they really need to make cards like this a priority for ppv. free events should get a good headliner and decent fun scraps, but ppv should have the names and the meaningful fights.
