The main event is the most prestigious fight on the card. It is a showcase of the greatest talent than an event can offer.
In today’s UFC, reaching the main event provides not only a boost in pay, but in notoriety. Fighters in the main events are heavily featured in advertising, UFC Countdown specials and much more.
Unlike past events like UFC 109: Relentless and UFC 69: Shootout, the UFC has more commonly adopted a branding strategy where they name their events after the fighters in the main event. For example UFC 145: Jones vs. Evans.
This is a ranking of the Top 25 UFC stars who are worthy enough to be called Main Eventers.
