All 3 of those matches could have held their own as main events, but they're all on the same card.
Then some other fights that should be interesting including Cheick Kongo, Matt Hamill and Yushin Okami.

Best card ever? Eh no...
I never found forrest or rashad all that exciting. They seem to fight not to lose instead of fighting to win.
Rampage vs Axe murderer already happened twice (Silva dominating both times), Diana White seems to let pride fighters face each other so one loses. There was always a debate of who had better fighters pride or ufc. Now that he has control over a lot of the previous pride fighters just make some of them take a loss. That way anyone can say well they didn't do so good in the ufc. Even though Anderson Silva came in and took the title and so did Rampage. Nogueira will probably have the HW title soon too.
Anyway I'd rather see Rampage and Wanderlei fight other fighters.
As for Nogueira vs Mir... I don't see how Mir earned a shot at Nogueira, there are better qualified fighters for Nog. That doesn't mean Mir can't win, miracles can happen for some people.
CD Dollaway is on the main card... Why? He didn't even win TUF when he was on. I'd rather see the hamill or the okami fight, which may not be shown.
