Am I the only one that thinks it's pretty pathetic that Dana is tring to make this sound like it was a great deal?

They should have at least thrown Guida vs. Henderson on that card too, in other news Big John is going to be the referee for this fight!!

The UFC is trying to hype up the HW's which is fine when your HWs are popular the sport is popular, but to leave Guida vs Bendo on this card with no possibility of the casual fans seeing it is a DAMN shame!

Not to mention SPIKE is basically counter programming by making it seem like they are airing the Cain/JDS fight.

@wolf. I'd be okay with that if it was absolutely necessary. We'll see what happens.

There is only one fight because this card wasn't originally planned when the UFC and Fox made a deal. It's being used to see what kinda ratings they're gonna get when the deal really starts to kick in next year.

I'm sure other fox events will have at least 3 fights, hopefully 5 though.

And if the fight ends early, they'll probably show a finish from earlier in the night, then cut to promos for UFC 139 like Wolf said.

They said other Fox shows will be the full 3 hour normal cards, but since this one was quickly put together and they don't want to compete with Pacquiao/Marquez

This goes against everything that got the UFC where it is today.  This is some boxing style ****. 

The UFC usually prides itself on putting on deep fight cards, so that even if the main event sucks, the fans aren't disappointed.  I find it hard to believe Dana wanted it this way.

AnAlias, it's only one event. Just a test to see how well they're going to do on Fox.  I don't see why you're so opposed to it. If it continued, then I'd be pissed too, but as of now, we're getting a free heavyweight title fight on tv... I really don't see a reason to complain.

I'm not opposed to having a free heavyweight title fight on TV at all.  That's awesome.  It just seems weird to me that while the UFC claims they have maintained full creative control with the FOX deal, their first event on the network is going against all of the tried and true logic that has helped get the UFC this far.  

I understand it's just a "test", and that they don't want to really compete with Pacquiao, but then why do it at all?  Why not just wait until the deal is really in place, and do it right?  

They came out with that ****** "inferno" trailer...the whole thing just seems half-assed.  I just hope the UFC doesn't lose touch with the philosophy that brought them so much success.

@analias. You hit the nail on the head with that one. Half-way through reading your post I was getting ready to post about that awful video/hype package with the fire. The day the UFC completely sells out to FOX will be the downfall of mma. They have taken so long to build such a great product with a great structure. I don't think their PPVs will change, hopefully they try something new the next time they're on FOX.
