What the hell is significant about a freak show match between a 5th fight hill giant and a mediocre former title holder?

I would say there were a few Pride GPs that were far more significant than this.

Hell, even Noguirra vs. Sapp was more significant than this, at the time it happened. In front of 90,000 screaming Japanease. Now that shit was a spectacle. I was hopping around like a madman when Sapp tombstoned big Nog. I'd never seen anything like it. And then Nog to come back and win... man... that was a different era.

i sense some ridiculous bias' here... how about deciding it not based off what YOU think is the biggest, but rather what the public (most buys) is the biggest. and for biggest event so far for PPV buy + gate... it is:
92 1.1M PPV Buys
$3.5M Gate

66 1.05M PPV Buys
$5.4M Gate

91 920K PPV Buys
$4.8M Gate

94 800K PPV Buys
$4.3M Gate

61 775K PPV Buys
$3.4M Gate

79 700K PPV Buys
$4.9M Gate

68 700K PPV Buys
$3M Gate

71 675K PPV Buys
$4.3M Gate

60 620K PPV Buys
$2.9M Gate

83 600K PPV Buys
$5.2M Gate

And no, pride did not exceed any of those numbers, so just cause your panties got moist didnt make any thing the biggest, biggest is based on a consensus, not personal opinion. Had the title been labeled "What MMA event was the biggest for you?" your opinions would be accepted here, but it wasnt. Thank you come again.

Because it's a milestone for the largest MMA organization in existence, and the most prosperous. UFC *is* MMA to a lot of MMA fans. In that regard it is the biggest event.

Otherwise yeah...it's just another UFC event...and imo not *that* great of a card in general...
