I agree that a title fight on each show would be better, or at least a number 1 contender fight on each show. That's 10 main events right there.

But obviously right now it's kind of hard to when you only have 2 active champs
It's still hard your way. Say GSP beat Koscheck and was #1 to Hughes or Serra and one of them got hurt, you lost a fight right there.

Ok, well at least have a marquee match with 'name' on it then.

The only guys I was interested in for the last show were Karo and Housten, now I admit to being a casual fan and most of my knowledge of UFC comes from those UFC unleashed shows that are on Bravo, but they were the most exciting fighters to me personally based on what I've seen them do.

I would think that they should be trying harder to get me as a casual to want to watch it, when it's Rampage Vs Chuck, I'm there, when it's Griffin Vs anyone, i'm there. But Bisping/Evans just doesn't set my world on fire. I know they need to build potential stars, but I think they are choosing the wrong type of people for the job

That's exactly my feeling. TUFers aren't necessarily stars. Yeah good fighters but just cuz somebody was on TUF doesn't mean they should headline a mediocre PPV. Try to put a title fight or a name on a card. Hell, had it been Rashad vs Tito 2 I would've been more interested. Tito vs Bisbing would've been something. No I'm not really a Tito fan but the guy creates a buzz.
