This should not be a main event. Bisping could be in the main event if he fought someone with a better name (Franklin, Hendo, Wandy). Leben should not be in teh main event!!!! Alothough he might win this fight, I so not see how an unranked fighter is headlining in the biggest MMA org. Maybe the UFC is actually starting to fall.
Alves and Sanchez is a great fight. If Alves could have made weight at the Hughes fight, he would be deserving of a title shot, w/out having to face the Nightmare. But since he couldn't, give him another shot to prove he can, and the winner gets a shot at GSP (I don't see any way that Fitch gets past Georges.) I will be pulling for Sanchez, but think Alves is poses the biggest threat for GSP.

Bisping is their Euro-poster boy. I don't disagree with your assessment, but that is the reason that he is headlining, IMO.

Hello! Free card! Yoo hoo!
Its an interesting fight, and then when we get a fight between two top 5 welterweights on the card as well does it really matter who fights last?

I think the PPV numbers take a hit when they have overseas events that are actually taking place in our afternoon, so probably makes sense. When they had the Bisping-Hamill on for free, a lot of people watched that. Strikeforce got a lot of recognition on TV and the UFC should do it once in a while.

I would not be upset with Leben/Bisping and Sanchez/Alves free card. IT looks like there will be another ppv a week or so later, I expect W. Silva to be fighting T. Silva on that card.
If it is free-GREAT. Do they list where the fight is going to be-Euro, US, Canada??? I can see Bisping headlining the fight if it is England and Yes the fight will be entertaining but I think that Sanchez and Alves should be the main event (both in the top 5).
FREE is always good though.
I don not know who i would pick between Alves and Sanchez yet, but i agree with the statement about Alves being GSPs greatest threat.
