Main Event: Anderson Silva (1975) v Dan Henderson (1970) LHW
UFC MW champ Silva has cleaned out the division & makes another foray into LHW against the SF LHW champ Hendo who was the only person to provide any challenge to Silva during a 4 year stretch from 2006-2010 until Sonnen gave him a tough fight

Co-Main Event: Fedor (1976) v Randy Couture (1963) HW
Its 4 years over due but Randy finally gets the fight he tried leaving the UFC for. Fans will still line up to see this match up as Cpt America takes on the Russian in this Cold War battle of superstars at the end of their careers

Rest of Card:

Shane Carwin (1975) v Roy Nelson (1976) HW
Both fighters are coming off 2 losses to top guys in the division & are looking to get back on track. Both are heavy handed & this fight should stay standing & be a slugfest

Rich Franklin (1974) v Tito Ortiz (1975) LHW
Surprisingly these 2 vets have never fought. Both can draw fans, are at the bottom of the top 10 in their division & fighting to stay relevant. Should be a good back & forth entertaining fight

Wanderlei Silva (1976) v Matt Hamill (1976) LHW
Silva returns to LHW to take on the tough & often entertaining Hamill

"why give people a MAIN EVENT they have already seen"

So Liddell/Couture2 Hughes/GSP2 Lesnar/Mir2 & many others werent worthy main events? Faulty logic. Silva/Hendo 1 was a good fight, no reason to think #2 wouldnt also. It has 2 champs fighting & the winner would earn the next shot at Jones. My matchup is more significant on the MMA landscape w/the victory meaning something. Silva/Fedor wouldve been good if Fedor was still the unbeatable legend, after 2 straight losses this fight lost its luster & is a lose/lose situation 4 Silva

Your comain isnt just a rematch but a 3rd fight between guys that no 1 has asked for & wouldnt generate any buzz. A win for either fighter does nothing to advance them in rankings or get them closer 2 title fights n their divisions. Fedor/Couture is a fight fans have wanted for years. Even w/both at the end of their careers this fight would be HUGE. It would generate lots of buzz, be a big ppv draw for hardcore & casual fans & be a good farewell matchup to both

Hammel is entertaining when facing aggressive fighters who push him. VS Nog I see this being a boring grinder like Nog vs Bader/Davis. Wandy will push Matt & itll end w/a KO of or by Silva

Top to bottom my cards better. Look at the comments- every1 liked my whole card& didnt say there was 1 fight they didnt like. Of your 3 changes only 1 got them talking. Maybe your ME is better but mine in its entirety is better for the fans. My fights are more entertaining, more important to the overall mma landscape& r matchups people want to see. My card would sell more ppvs

My ME has 2 current champs fighting w/a shot at the LHW belt on the line. Yours is only intriguing to hardcore fans since casual ones think Fedor is overrated. More people would want to see mine& it is a true ME because of its title implications

My CoME is a fight both fans& the fighters have wanted for years. Yours may be a rubber match but no1 wants to see it& it creates 0 interest. & Randy was on a 3 fight win streak, dont hold a ko from a top 4 LHW against him

Our last fight shows how style matchups make good fights. Wandy can still bring it& will pressure Matt in2 putting on a good show. They will go back& forth on their feet& it'll end w/a ko. Nog in his last fights against guys similar to Matt was boring & this1 would be the same. Wandys also a bigger draw than Nog

My 3 > your3 changes
