What if they meant "bigggest" as in "biggest number yet"

... in which case, it is

think about it

Because sports journalism is a step below normal journalism which is itself a step below masturbating into a stack of Archie comics on webcam.

There are no long time established fighters that that are staples in the sport besides GSP and there are no hugely awaited and speculated matches like CroCop vs. Fedor. And while Alves is a great opponent it isn't like BJ vs. GSP 2. And Hendo vs. Bisping is a nice match but, nothing epic about it.
Um, Fedor v.s. Cro Cop wasn't even the biggest fight in Japanese MMA history, that was Royce Gracie v.s. Sakuraba.

because (as many other's have said already) it pretty much is... and as far as journalism goes, "the biggest event in mma history" sounds like a bigger deal than, "has potential to be a really good event"

for the title of biggest mma event,its a very weak card.

brock vs mir for the secondary Hw mma title
Gsp vs a hyped up striker that he will destroy
Past prime hendo vs a nobody(oh wait thank god for tuf)

at least the sexyone will be making his debut.
