The UFC’s approach towards packing the free Fox cards with matchups geared towards excitement was always a great idea. Having title eliminator fights or just fights that are of direct consequence in a title picture also helped, but putting a title fight on should feel like a treat. But while I say it should, it kind of brings with it the sense that this wasn’t as big as it could have been. Mighty Mouse was the perfect fighter to put on free TV for the world to see with his personality and style, and it seems to work out better than having him on PPV and taking the blame when a subpar event isn’t successful because he’s the headliner.
