Primetime has failed to make me more excited for the main event of UFC 121. It's been a very dull show so far, and hasn't shed any new light to me about either fighter.
That said, there is no way I could possibly be more amped up for this fight, and this fantabulous UFC 121 card as a whole. There's nothing that the UFC could have done with Primetime to get me more geeked up for this fight than I already am.
ALVIN CARTER, MMATORCH SPECIALIST
No, I have been extremely excited about this fight since the moment it was announced.� The program might be helping to sustain it, but it has not enhanced my excitement level. This is just a great main event on what has turned out to be a great card. That is all a fight fan can really ask for.

In the spirit of what the UFC Primetime series is supposed to do, than yes, it makes the casual viewer excited for this fight.� But, as fans, I feel that this type of programming should be reserved for fights that may not have the biggest draw or names in the business.� Upcoming ones could include the Rampage Jackson-Lyoto Machida fight, or better yet, the rematch between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.� People know who Brock Lesnar is, so he alone sells that fight.� This series should make me want to care about people I don't care about, like say, Edgar and Maynard.
ERIC HOBAUGH, MMATORCH CONTRIBUTOR
The UFC Primetime series has been interesting, but it has done little to excite me about the fight. The series is getting better. These two excellent heavyweight fighters will have one million buys and it should be an exciting fight. The fight has a champion who has been tested and deserves his title.�Velasquez has a unique set of skills that make him the legitimate number one contender. I can not wait!

The Primetime series has hyped up the fight a bit more. I love to hear what they have to say to each other and see who they train with to prepare. Who would have thought Brock would bring Pat Barry in to help him? They are both showing a level of respect to each other and I think its going to be a war!

Primetime is fun to watch, but I don't know that it affects my desire to watch the PPV as I'd be watching it anyway!
SHAWN ENNIS, MMATORCH COLUMNIST
I was already pretty jacked for this fight before the Primetime series started, and the first couple of episodes haven't really done much for me. �I think the series is a good thing - don't get me wrong. �But the whole "first Mexican champion" thing doesn't really resonate with me (not that it's supposed to) and all I get from Lesnar is, "Man, this guy is a beast," which I already knew. �The good thing about Lesnar as far as promoting a fight is that he doesn't need to be open about his personal life and have a big back story. �His WWE past and his physical freakishness are enough to sell a fight with anyone. �And for Velasquez, if fans have seen him fight before, especially the fight against Big Nog, it's not going to take much for them to want to see this fight. �I think the main purpose of the primetime series in this case isn't necessarily to get to know the fighters - it's just to remind everyone that the fight is coming up.
