Mir v. Lesnar is the main event and St.Pierre v. Alves has been named the co-main event. Even with my GSP bias I really don't think Mir-Lesnar deserves to be the main event over the WW title match.
Throughout fighting history Heavyweight has been the major focus in all combat sports.
Whether GSP is the best p4p or not, the general fight watching public wanna see the big fellas. That may seem unfair to some due to Lesnar being inexperienced bla bla bla but get over it, it's how the fight game is.
Lesnar is the biggest draw in the UFC at the moment and he will be promoted as such... to all you GSP nuthuggers who think he should be the main event suck-it-up and join the rest of us in reality.
OMG another Brock thread
