One thing I hate what the UFC, or should I say Dana, is when they announce #1 contendership on the line if "X" fighter should win upcoming match. It puts that one guy under pressure, whereas the other guy, who has no stake for contendership, the mental edge, being pressure free.
Dana announced title shot for Bisping, Overeem, and Evans should they win their match. They all lose. Bisping and Evans fight conservatively, take no chances, and falter. Overeem gets cocky and gets KO.
Let the guys go into their fight pressure free. Should they win, then announce at press conference what was at stake.
