MAIN CARD
•Champ Georges St-Pierre vs. Jake Shields (for welterweight title)
•Champ Jose Aldo vs. Mark Hominick (for featherweight title)
•Jason Brilz vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
•Randy Couture vs. Lyoto Machida
•Mark Bocek vs. Ben Henderson
******************
First fight on the main card of the UFC's largest event ever as his first UFC fight. A young fighter who was a defending champ. all things considered, he's still got a chance to have a long career and replace that highligh reel kick, with his own.
Michael Bisping has done just fine since the Hendo bomb, whereas someone like Nate Quarry never really made it back up, Evans hasn't looked the same since Machida... Henderson already has a lot of nice wins, i don't see his career being defined by that punch. Whereas someone nearing the end of their career(Vitor), might have a harder time living it down.
As i'm typing this though... how the f*ck is Matyushenko vs. Jason Brilz on the main card? Really... Couture, Machida, Gsp, Aldo... Matyushenko, Brilz... :?

I think the only fight I'd put ahead of that would be the diaz and mcdonald fight. It deserves to be on the main card cause its almost guarenteed excitement. But think of it this way, they want a crazy fun and exciting fight to happen on spike just before the main card starts. Potentially creates a lot more buys for casual fans
