There's a huge group of fans (not me, for the record) that regards the Hughes vs. Serra matchup as a novelty that was played out after Serra and Hughes were both destroyed by GSP in their rematches. Franklin vs. Henderson was a PPV event because it was for a TUF coaching spot and it was a matchup a lot of people cared about. Sanchez vs. Stevenson wasn't a PPV event, and didn't air on PPV. I don't think Silva vs. Franklin will either, but that remains to be made official. I actually think it's a fine main event, but it needs a good co-main event if I'm going to pay $50 for it. ("me" is a hypothetical, because I'll be watching it from a sports bar) Because Hughes vs. Serra doesn’t put anyone in title contention and it doesn’t have the level of hype it did after the show.

Hughes vs. Serra is not a PPV main event. I say that and I am a Hughes fan. I wonder who they will scramble to headline the card now….lets be honest… Hughes vs. Serra is not a PPV main event.
