3rd Co-Main Event:
Cain Velazquez v Fabricio Werdum


Assuming Stipe and Werdum dont have a war?? And Cain's horrible back is recovered? Not happening.

First Fight:
Max Holloway v Frankie Edgar


I think if they offer that fight to Edgar he drops to 135 and fights Dillashaw at 200.

I don't think Stipe has a chance at Werdum, personally. If it went past 2 I'd be surprised.

Good point.

Why would he do that? If he wants McGregor as bad as he says he does that wouldn't be the way to go. Winner of Holloway/Edgar would get winner of Aldo/McGregor. I would think that would be more intriguing to Edgar than getting Cruz/Faber with a win over Dillashaw.

That would be a good one too. I just think that Jones/Cormier fight is going to go a good 4 rounds at least. If so, I don't think Jones would have enough time for the 200 card.

Hes already mentioned it. Its not coming from nowhere.

Meh, he wants a belt. A belt. He wants to be a champ at 2 weight divisions. He aint gonna put it on the line to fight, in terms of the fans perspective, a nobody like Max Holloway.

Winner of Holloway/Edgar would get winner of Aldo/McGregor.


Well if Conor beats Aldo again, his next fight would be against the 155 champ, and Dana and the Fertitas are praying thats Nate. So Frankie would be weighting again.

jones had no damage at all last time and it went 5 rounds. its nearly 3 months between ufc 197 and ufc 200.

I think its possible.

regardless, thats the most intriguing matchup in the ufc IMO.

Also, dont be surprised if they announce GSP vs. Lawler for 200 as well.

If the UFC doesn't give Frankie his due with this fight, I'm going to be disappointed. I don't want Conor-Aldo2. I want to see Frankie "I'm a fricking winner" Edgar stomp a mudhole in Conor and force to him up to 155.

My UFC 200 wish list:

Nate Diaz vs. Eddie Alvarez or Dustin Poirier
Tate vs Rousey (I'd like Holm/Miesha II, but Dana has confirmed Rousey)
RDA vs Ferguson/Khabib winner
McGregor vs Edgar
GSP vs Lawler

UFC 200 Card:

Main Event:
Nate Diaz v Rafael Dos Anjos

Co-Main Event:
Jose Aldo v Connor McGregor

2nd Co-Main Event:
Ronda Rousey v Miesha Tate

3rd Co-Main Event:
Cain Velazquez v Fabricio Werdum


1 of those 4 fights would actually happen, that card would do nothing for me.

Werdum Cain Rousey for sure are not available. Edgar and RDA are currently injured 50/50 if they'll be available in 4 months. Nate, Connor and Tate just had pretty brutal fights I doubt all of them will be available in 4 months

A more reasonable guess would for UFC 200

GSP vs Lawler
Some permutation of Aldo Connor and Edgar
Some fight from April, May or June that gets pushed back
Dillashaw vs Almeida
Maybe a Anderson vs Bisping rematch
and the rest will probably be filled with Reebok fighters

That would be my #1 choice for UFC 200 wish list. 1a would be GSP return for the belt, or "Superfight".

This would suck simply because all of these folks have already fought each other....these are all rematches from very recent.

That is what happens when you lose to an average fighter like Diaz


What? Diaz is great in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has good boxing skills.
The #5 LW in the world isnt average.
