Disclaimer: I don't follow the sport quite as hard as I used to. That said, I don't remember any numbered event where I didn't know either of the main event fighters.

Its certainly up there! What's the reasoning behind it?

If I remember correctly, UFC was working on Izzy vs DDP, but DDP is unable to fight. Izzy called out Strickland, but UFC either wasn’t interested or hasn’t been able to make a deal.

If Izzy is to be believed, this is due to Strickland asking for too much money for that fight.

I'd believe it. Strickland highly over values himself.

What happened to DDP?

Wow that is a terrible card to put on PPV. Even if they come up with a reasonable headliner...
