Is UFC 78 the worst PPV card ever?

This appears to be the worst card ever. Am I missing something?

Edgar/Fisher
Evans/Bisping
Karo/Chonan
Alves/Lytle
Alexander/Silva
Terrell/Herman

Gono, Aurellio, Lauzon in action.

It's a good card with competitive matchups and traditionally exciting fighters. It just lacks a main event. Jeff Sherwood said he thinks it'll be the best UFC event this year.

So, yeah, you're missing something. It could use a real main event (not a fight between a guy in the top 10-12 and a guy in the top 20-25 at LHW), but other than that, it should be pretty good.

It's nowhere near as bad as cards like UFC 55, 61, 72, etc. I'm pretty excited for it myself. I don't need huge names or two top 5 fighters going at it to get pumped for a card.

No where near the worst.

Every fight on paper is competitive.

Thiago vs. Houston is going to be a war.

Fisher vs. Edgar is a great fight and should shake up the LW division with the winner eventually getting a title shot.

Ryo vs. Karo is going to be great as both guys give it their all and will fight till the very end.

Bisping vs. Evans is a battle of TUF winners that are still undefeated. Even if the fight is not main event worthy it is still a good fight with major implications.

Ed Herman vs. Dave Terrell is going to be a good fight and with Terrell back in the mix at MW this fight could be the beginning of the rise to a title shot for him. Herman is no slouch though and will be game.

Alves vs. Lytle? This fight is going to be good no matter where it ends up.

All that plus Reinhardt making his debut against the impressive J Lau. Gono making his UFC debut and Maximus fighting again.

This card is waaaaaaaaaay underrated!

yeah, your completely wrong. The main event isnt very epic, but will be ok. all the other matches i am very interested in seeing. I guarantee this will be better than 77.
