When I looked at the upcoming fight schedule I saw a HUGE gap in time between the two UFC events. There are seven weeks between UFC 73 on July 7 and UFC 74 on August 25. With the significant surge of interest in the UFC in recent months and increasing demand for more events, will the UFC allow this much downtime without a fight?

The new influx of talent from PRIDE as well as more new signings every month suggests that UFC has plenty of great fighters to insert into a fight night during this interim period. A number of talented fighters haven't been scheduled yet, such as Shogun Rua, Brandon Vera, Justin McCully, and Kampmann or Corey Hill should be healed up by then. Any thoughts?
