Only paying for the main event is boxing mentality. UFC always tends to give at least 3 fights between division contenders, and with there being less weightclasses, people are generally wize to alot of the competators over boxing.

As for the fight. It wasn't entertaining to watch. I think Silva was 20-18 on the cards when it finished, and who knows. He destroyed Irvin before he had time break a sweat. Maybe he was just giving Cote the chance to try and beat him. Anderson Silva is a cocky arrogant dude now. It's maybe a crazy idea, but who knows... there could be any number of reasons why it went down like that. Only he knows.

Thing that got to me was RP saying he is no longer the best fighter in the world. Even though he was 15 minutes earlier, and he just got another win to improve his record.

Nobody who is considered the all time best in a sport has had totally consistant successful performance for the entirety of their careers. Everyone has gone through a bad spell or a few close knit losses.

And he didn't even fucking lose!
