Well- It's not a lot less fights then usual, just a large Preliminary and no Early prelimns though. All fights in two sections instead of three so to say
Or maybe you mean bigger in the sense of more known fighters.

Often the cards with less known fighters have the best fights due to them all wanting to impress and become one of those better known fighters
