I completely understand the reasoning behind low budget undercards, but what I don't understand is why they have such horrible match-ups and fighters. There are numerous FNF main events that are much more intriguing and exciting and I'm sure the budget for those fights is lower than the budget for these undercards.

My only explanation is that these promotional banners are too hesitant to risk their prospects too soon. They rather build them up on a HBO after dark as supposed to a live high profile PPV event. This in essence deprives us of good fights matched with good talent.
