First of all, not that many people watch the ufc fight nights considering the marketing for them is not as strong as a ppv, and the fact that only rarely is there a stellar main event is put on them.

I can see you dont know how it works so ill explain it to you... unknown guys fight on these, rattle off a win or two and then get a shot on the bigger stage on a ppv broadcast where everyone has to see them because they all tuned in to see the heavily advertised main event.

Second, with all the slots on a ppv taken up by current stars, there would be no proving ground on a ppv card for rising guys to perform. Ppv events are in bigger arenas and have bigger crowds. It is a completely different environment than a fight night.
