Or War Machine, I guess, but that's less likely. They don't tend to waste TV time on guys they can't push, and that's clearly why George vs. Billy is on the main card.

That is why Rollins and Koppenhaver is on the main card. Because it is more marketable than the other ones. Price and Mitichyan went out too early. I dont even remember who Georgieff is and I have no interest in ever seeing Goulet fight again. Mandaloniz vs. Hightower will probably be decent but it just seems like a harmless matchup that isnt very intriguing. Arroyo probably should be fighting George on the main card but the viewers have seen enough of Kolosci to know they dont need to watch him on the maincard. The backstory of Rollins and Koppenhaver is what makes it stand out and makes it intriguing to the fans. That is why its on the main card.

It's like Rollins and Koppenhaver are being rewarded for their scuffle in the TUF house. If that hadn't happened, they would be on a prelim fight seen by a few thousand people in attendance and a few thousand people online. Because that scuffle did happen, their TUF finale fight will be seen by millions of people on the main card. What kind of message does that send?
