Cub Swanson vs. Frankie Edgar in a five round bout is going to be spectacular. If it weren€™t for the influx of more events, this could be very well have been placed on a co-main event on pay-per-view. We wouldn€™t be able to see what should be five rounds of outstanding action. It€™s becoming an underrated asset towards the new UFC schedule. Fighters that you want to be spotlighted more are now getting that opportunity. A few examples could be from how fan favorites such as Matt Brown and Mark Hunt are being utilized. Brown€™s fight against Erick Silva would be close to the earlier portion of a pay-per-view main card on most occasions. Instead it was the main event on a fight night and that became one of the most memorable fights in 2014. Then who can forget the five-round battle between Hunt and Antonio Silva? Nobody can deny that some Fight Night cards are bound to be lackluster. It€™ll always be a variety of an exciting main card or just two big names thrown together in a main event. Regardless of what it may be, it gives the opportunity for either underrated fighters or fan-favorites to fight at five rounds. It allows them the opportunity to make their mark in becoming a future title contender.
