Dana better give the next UK UFC (hopefully in London) a huge main event 
Why do brits act like the UFC owes them something? you guys can subscribe to a channel that pretty much gives you the UFC for free, while everyone else has to pay 44$ every event. I had to pay for 2 England events that happened hours before, now thats unfair. Its about time another overseas event is free for everyone else.
Seriously why do brits act like Zuffa owes them reparations? be happy that their even going overseas in the first place, a lot of fighters fighting in the UFC and here in North America dont like fighting in England what with jet lag and changing hours around, and some only like to fight overseas like Marcus Davis. That super main event your looking for is likely to happen here unless it involves some brits.

IMO the headliner fight should be Machida vs. Silva, but I guess from a marketing stand point it would make more since to have Leben vs. Bisbin due to the exposure in TUF, the casual fan whould know them more than the undefeated Brazilians.

This might not be main event worthy, because neither fighter should be next in line for a shot at silva (okami should, and if franklin or hendo want it they can try again). Besides that tho, this is a very exciting fight. Bisping has become a very exciting fighter, who will someday challenge the title, and Leben is a hard hitter who is free swinging. It is a great matchup that will almost certainly end before a decision. Also on the card, 2 undefeated LHWs. How many LHW are 13-0? Not too many. So this is great matchup. Whatever your feelings on Machida are, hes deserving of fighting the best, and should get a shot soon. So this is another exciting fight due to title implications. Soko v Cain = exciting. Vera v Jardine = also very exciting. We'll learn alot from those last two. Is Cain a real contender? Can Vera adjust to fighting at LHW? Which Keith Jardine will show up? Also, I'm curious to see how Lytle and Davis rebound from their last fights (losses to Kos and Swick, respectively). And the best part of all...... its FREE!!!!

Any fights with Leben in it (almost) are entertaining fight bisping is looking very good at MW plus london = bisping so for sure he will be the main card.
Except Bisping is from 'up north' in Manchester - Londoners don't like anyone from north of the Watford gap, traditionally.

im with you on that. i dont care if its a main event or the frist televised fight, chances are im going to love it. A certain time slot in the televised portion isnt going to make it a bigger draw for me.

two people in a row quoting you means youre on to something. this is my thought exactly, i mean the card is really good from top to bottom, and as long as i get to see the fights why b1tch about it? do keyboard warriors really need to grasp at straws like this? if a little jelly leaks out the side of your PB&J do you write a letter to someone? settle down and enjoy the fights TS, if you are that worried about the little things may i suggest going to see the sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 to calm you down a bit.
