Chadderall Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Will the UFC back Jones/Sonnen up with a quality co-main event? The last 2 PPV (excluding 152) that Jones was scheduled to/or did headline didn't really have 'co-main event feel' to them. UFC 145 co-main: Rory MacDonald vs Che Mills UFC 151 co-main: Jake Ellenberger vs Jay Hieron (replacing injured Koscheck) any guesses on co-main event?

WarWest® Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Co-main will probably be GSP vs somebody Makes sense to me with the BS co-mains when Jon headlines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicboxer Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 They are making Jones out to be a big enough draw on his own that they don't need a great card under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaksame Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Notice the trend there?Che Mills and Heiron,two guys probably fighting for peanuts.That is how the UFC likes to build cards,with lots of guys that make very little money. I am sure JOnes makes a lot and Sonnen is i'm sure overpaid,so they will need lots of filler fights/fighters. What i find worse than poor quality co-main is the entire 5 fight MAIN cards the UFC has been throwing at fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisti Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Co-main will probably be GSP vs somebody Makes sense to me with the BS co-mains when Jon headlines gsp co-main is death, not a bs co-main Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOTMF Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 They are making Jones out to be a big enough draw on his own that they don't need a great card under him. --------------- I agree, they figure that the two of them will be big enough draws that they won't really need any other great names in there. Makes sense, if I was the UFC, from a business standpoint, i'd do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
openwindow Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 If the other cards this year are any indication, we will probably see a fairly stacked card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmoGOAT Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is a top notch co main really needed when there will be so much damn hype going into this fight? 151 didn't get canceled because it didnt have a good co main, it got canceled because Jones refused to sack up against a MW. With how many cards there are in a year these days I'm sure it wouldn't be possible to have a sweet main and co main on every single one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a handful of times that the main event got cancelled but they promoted the co-main to main event status. Jones just didn't wanna lose a decision:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones just didn't wanna lose a decision:) Yeah but theres more and more and more events every year. How many 'good enough to promote to a main' co-mains can there really be? Everyone loves stacked cards but there can only be so many. Thats probably why we are seeing more divisions and the introduction of WMMA to the UFC. Dana and lorenzo and joe need more fighters to supply our demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horrorfan663 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Jamie Varner vs Donald Cerrone 3 DC vs Mir, DC vs JDS, Josh Barnett vs Mir Benson Hendo vs Gilbert Melendez Varner is about 15 spots below Cowboy at this stage so no if Cowboy loses to Pettis in a bad way i could definitely see them setting it up and Cowboy and Varner not only hate eachother but Varner is the reason Cowboysd best friend is out of a job now. just saying its got a story behind it and i'd pay to see Varner beat him again ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHOSTF4CE Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I think 2013 is going to be the year where the UFC really steps up the value of their cards, they have more talent at their disposal and are aware of the injury plague so they are better prepared to deal with them. I don't know what the co-main event will be but I'm sure it will be a worthwhile addition to the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
