#1millionPPVbuysfirst all wmma fight card with 1 title fight which isnt rose or nunes or cyborg.
Here is the problem, there are very little options. Of the champions not booked:
Holloway: Out until God knows when due to scary shit.
Khabib: Not fighting in Texas lol.
WW: Both Woodley and Colby have said they aren't fighting here, and apparently Colby has a minor injury he is still dealing with.
MW: Whittaker out until 2019.
LHW/HW: DC just fought and is waiting for Brock.
WSW: Rose injured and not fighting until next year.
WBW: Nunes injured and insistent on 232.
That leaves Cyborg/can (if the UFC is even interested in that), Nicco/Valentina (will either be the main or co-main on here), and maaaaaybbbeee an interim FW bout with Ortega/? One of those three will be the main event, and don't expect more than 2/3 AT MOST on here.
In sum, this card is fucked by circumstance and the fact that Texas just isn't a priority compared to Vegas or MSG.
