Good point on the DC-Brock. Though it seems like Dana is being completely open with the fact he's doing that for DC for everything he's done.
Good point! Totally didn't cross my mind it was done already. Yes, that was fine with everyone, I don't get why we can't have that again. Was that controversial at the time??
I believe Dana when he says he wants to give that fight to DC, but I also believe that he'd want to give it to Stipe, Francis, Cain, Jones, etc. if they were the champ, too. He's doing it because he knows the UFC will make a shit ton of money off it, too.
Not controversial.
Main difference though is that the initial main event was for a title in RDA/Conor until Nate filled in on two weeks notice.
True, but Conor-Nate 2 was also the main event. There weren't any title fights on the card, but still, they scheduled a non title fight as the main event and it was the 2nd biggest PPV ever.
It's just very strange to me the way the UFC is deciding to make fights based on money and then when they make them based on merit.
