There's a bunch of good matchups on the card, but I don't see a good comain. Maybe its a Wednesday card, so they will only have the one big fight, kinda like the Rockhold vs Philippou card where there wasn't a real co main.
Card :
Cowboy vs Miller
Lineker vs Ozkilic
Barboza vs Dunham
Tibau vs Healy
Salas vs Proctor
Story vs Mafra
Duke vs Smith
Viana vs Sterling
Gadelha vs Lahdemaki

It'll probably be the Barboza/Dunham fight

Maybe even Lahdemakhi vs Gadelha just because it is the first ever strawweight fight?

Yeah it has to be Barboza/Dunham unless there's a fight still unannounced

Gadelha on Fight Pass while Cedeno/Sanders is on TV? That's a joke! You would think the first ever 115lb fight in the UFC with a top 5 fighter would get more love.
Also I wish Sterling/Viana was on the main card over the Proctor/Salas or Martins/White fight.

Agreed. The UFC have a chance of promoting Gadelha for a while, getting her a couple fights before TUF finishes & lining her up as the 1st title challenger. Instead they're burying her introduction fight, against an overmatched opponent where she should look awesome, on Fight Pass.

Yep, they promote women on looks or if they were on that TUF season. I bet Paige Van Zant's debut won't be on Fight Pass.

She better hope she finishes her fight and there is time on the prelims to show her fight then.

The wrong women's fight is on tv

The fact the women's first ever Strawweight bout has been neglected to fight pass over Cedeno/Sanders and Duke/Smith is so embarrassingly typical of the UFC

The division will get plenty of promotion when TUF starts and a new champion is crowned, then they can get people to care about Claudia so there is someone she can present a challenge to.
UFC not choosing to promote a fight to hype up a division we won't see another fight in for another 3-4 months doesn't sound like an embarrassing decision to me.

They probably don't want the mass audience to see Claudia Gadelha fight and then watch the Ultimate Fighter and wonder why shes not in the house or why girls who are worse than her have a chance to become the first ever champ over her. Not justifying my opinion, I think its a horrible decision by the UFC and or FS1.

It does when both Smith and Duke looked like absolute shite in their last fights and who honestly gives a fcuk about Sanders/Cedeno? Gadelha is top 3, no one in the top 10 of any division should be on the Fight Pass Prelims, it's insulting. If I was the UFC I'd at least get that s--- on free TV, possibly give her another fight after this and have her fight the winner of TUF.

It's a chance to build up Claudia, who's probably going to end up as the 1st title challenger. Unless she suffers a dramatic upset, the only women who are likely to beat her are in TUF.
Plus, the fact the she's a top 5 fighter in her division should result in her at least being on TV, especially when you look at some of the fights above her (Duke-Smith in particular).

Remember that this fight is less than 3 weeks away and this fight is a late addition to the card. Spots we're likely filled long before they were announced.

Agreed but Cedeno/Sanders just got announced, I know Sanders was a late replacement but still. Much like Moraga being neglected in his first two fights before being throw into a title shot, it's just another poor decision by the UFC in my opinion.

Well I don't see the next female strawweight title fight (After TUF 20 finale) being a headliner anyway, I think it'll be a little while before any of the girls get that spot. Claudia has plenty of time to be built up, especially if her debut is impressive

UFC 181, Dec 6 in Vegas is the strawweight finals, not sure if they make it main
