    3) Put it on Spike.

    I'd prefer number 2, but I'd be fine with any of those three. As it is now, this card shouldn't be a PPV. But there's a lot of time, so we'll see what they do with it.

    GSP,Silva and Brock will all be ready to go by then.

      +1. Personally, I wouldn't pay 10 bucks to watch the current card. Hopefully, the will either do one of the three options and I'd be fine with paying for it.

        I doubt Dana would have Silva/Belfort, Brock/Carwin or GSP/Swick/Hardy in Australia.

          Why not? From what I've read, they plan on doing the show on a Sunday afternoon in Australia so that they can do a live Saturday night PPV here in the States. I'd see maybe having GSP's fight in the States considering how his rabid Canadian fans are known to travel to his fights here, but the other guys? Anderson/Vitor seems perfect for this card.

            Because you can sellout Australia with Silva/Akiyama especially with it being the first time the UFC is in Australia. People will buy tickets just because its new. If the Sunday afternoon rumor is true then that takes care of the PPV problem but personally I'd save Silva/Belfort for the States (preferably Vegas)

                Akiyama out, Bisping in.

                I like Wanderlei/Bisping a little more, but either way, they still need a real main event for this card. They shouldn't really have a problem with that, either, as Anderson/Vitor, GSP/Hardy, Cain/Carwin, and Cain/Nog all have good probabilities of being ready in February.

                    Elvis Sinosic has been added to this card. I'm not sure who he's fighting yet. Another Aussie has been added as well and the matchup is a little surprising to me. George Sotiropoulos is scheduled to fight Joe "Daddy" Stevenson. George has looked impressive lately against some lower competition and now he gets Joe Daddy. Interesting matchup for sure.

                    Edit: The Sotiropoulos/Stevenson fight is not finalized yet but is in the works.

                      It looks like Jardine vs. Bader on this card. As long as one of them doesn't break their leg or catch the HIV before the fight. Knock on wood. :o

                        Cain/Nog is the main event,NOT for an interim title.

                            It'd be idiotic to not have this for the interim title. They don't even know if Brock will fight again, and the UFC has been lacking title fights.

                              That wouldnt be fair to Carwin. He was the #1 contender so he should be involved in any interim title fight.

                                Carwin only got the title shot because he started talking crap about Lesnar after UFC 100. I'm not sure he's in any position to complain about fairness.

                                Besides, they wanted him to fight at 108, but he wanted to let his knee recover. Then they wanted him to fight at 110, but he wanted to be around in case his wife gave birth. Both are very legitimate reasons, but at the same time, he hasn't exactly built up the stature that one would require to put an entire division on hold.
