I honestly think it's because of the main event. The return of Khabib and Condit is awesome, but no woman can really draw outside of Rhonda. Joanna was getting there, but her loss obviously set her back a ways.

Also, Cynthia Cavillo is great, but she definitely doesn't have a casual following yet.
There are some compelling fights on the main card, but the card as a whole is weak. In reference to whether a female can draw as a main event, it really depends on how the ufc chooses to market them. Cyborg could be huge if the if didn't spend years trying trash in her. She could still be huge based on her aggressive style, but the ufc needs to step in and give her a push. Rhonda wouldn't have been a massive draw on her armbar attack alone, had the ufc not stepped in and said some ridiculous shit to put her on the map and keep her on the map.

Yeah not sure what Glenn was preparing for, it's like he had no understanding of how his opponent fought.

I was talking with a buddy earlier about the fact that there didn't seem to be much hype at all around this card. You're right, if Cyborg was pushed, she could be big simply based on her fighting style and the fact that she is so completely dominant.

At least we all know that Derrick Lewis is probably jacking off right now to the fact that Cyborg is fighting tonight.
