They definitely dropped the ball here.

On another note, though, while I agree that AA and Werdum should have gotten more play than they did (which was 0), in fairness we should be complaining not at the structure of the program but the order of the card. And even that has its logic.
If you've watched many of these Countdown shows you know that they hype only the top 2 main events and occasionally the 3rd (as when Rich Franklin and Matt Hughes were on the same card with Randy-Tim at UFC68).
I have never seen them hype the 4th fight on the card. When you look at the UFC70 fight card, AA-Werdum is fight #4.
And on this card, in any other event AA-Werdum would be #3 over Bisping. However, when you realize the intent behind the event - get shows in Europe, in the UK, get the fans there fired up (this is the most de-Americanized card I've ever seen them have and it makes sense to have it abroad and call it Nations Collide) - it only makes sense that they'd put the undefeated Bisping ahead of AA-Werdum.
Just my $00.02.

^^ And the reason for Machida v Heath got 15 more minutes than AA v Werdum?
I understand Bisping gettin pub, he's a TUFer Champ and England's first MMA star. UFC loves to hype their TUFers because the fan knows more about them.

because the less people that know about Werdum, the more of an upset it looks like when he wins

My book comes up with it's own shit, so I gotta wait till the fight. I'd say it'll be AA a nice sized favorite though.
