Welterweight Nate Diaz Vs. Conor McGregor
Featherweight José Aldo Vs. Frankie Edgar (for Interim FW Title)
Heavyweight Cain Velasquez Vs. Travis Browne
Welterweight Johnny Hendricks Vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Middleweight Gegard Mousasi Vs. Derek Brunson
Lightweight Diego Sanchez Vs. Joe Lauzon
Lightweight Takanori Gomi Vs. Jim Miller
The Diaz rematch should be fun... I was kind of hoping for McGregor Vs Edgar or Aldo 2 though. And Ronda Vs Holm 2 or Tate 3.
Not sure if the card's finalised... I think they might add another title fight (Lawler Vs Woodley, maybe?).

I'm really surprised that McGregor is going to fight at Welterweight again. He's just to small to be fighting at that weight.

Card sounds okay at best so far. I mean we've just recently seen the Diaz/McGregor fight so it kinda takes away from the giddiness I had for the last fight. I'm definitely still gling for Diaz. Always been a fan of his. Aldo vs Edgar should be good. I'm hoping Edgar can pull it out so we can finally see him happy. And the fact that no matter what happens McGregor is facing the winner of that fight is a win win. I'd like to see either fight between the 3 of them. I'm rooting for Edgar to take the W and finally shut down the McGregor Hype train.
Browne vs Velasquez should be a good one. I like Brownes style but I think Cain will have it in the bag. He needs a win.
I've got Mousasi over Brunson. That's being biased too because I really like Gegard.
Hendricks vs Gastelum should be good too. Johny needs a win bad after losing to Thompson like that so quickly.
And I think Lauzon vs Sanchez has the opportunity to be a fight of the night contender. There's going to be a lot of blood in that one. I'm gonna have to pick Joe for this fight. If it goes to the ground I can see him locking in a Triangle or another submission.
Miller vs Gomi could be good. Miller is on a losing streak and Gomi's getting up there in age. He's been around forever. I'd like to see Miller pull out a win for this but it could really go either way.
I wonder what the last co-main is going to be. But Dana said it's going to blow peoples minds. I think it'll have something to do with GSP. I'd love to see him fight Lawler with Robbie retaining though. That man is a freaking Warrior.

I'm really surprised that McGregor is going to fight at Welterweight again. He's just to small to be fighting at that weight. I think there is a very strong possibility that he loses to Diaz again and then turns around just to lose his title to Frankie, who he clearly doesn't want to fight. Conor is only cute when he's chirping and winning. If he goes down 3 in a row he's just going to look like a loud mouth assh*le. The card is underwhelming based on what I expected. Aldo vs Edgar will be good. Holm vs Tate isn't happening because Dana doesn't want to lose Ronda vs Cupcake 3. Never has a return been so comfortably lined up for Ronda to return. She hates Tate, she knows how to beat her, and it has tons of marquee value. Then, once Ronda beats her again, Dana can turn around and give us HH vs RR 2, which is the real money fight to see if Holm is just Ronda's kryptonite or if Ronda just had a terrible strategy when she lost, so like not keeping her hands up or trying to stand up with a great striker instead of playing to your judo strength and her inferior ground game... At which point, if Cyborg isn't kicked out of the UFC by then, and she has shown she can make weight, that fight could actually happen, but I doubt it haha. 197 and 199 both look like equally as good, or better, cards to me. Assuming JJ gets out of jail any time soon. |

Assuming JJ gets out of jail any time soon. If McGregor loses to Diaz again he should just vacate the featherweight title and move to Lightweight permanently. I don't want to see Rousey vs. Tate III since i think Ronda will finish Miesha again like their previous 2 fights. The build up should be fun but i'm not looking forward to the actual fight. |

McGregor has an awful lot to lose this time around. Big fan of his but I don't know if he can do it.

Would liked to have seen Bisping on this card.

Quite disappointed with the main event to be honest. I really don't see the point why a rematch between Diaz and Mcgregor is necessary. Mcgregor tapped out! As far as I'm concerned, a rematch is necessary if the fight was not won convincingly. I think UFC has gone to a point where they will spoil anyone who gives them a lot of money. Just because Conor wants a rematch, UFC gave in on a very important card. On top of that, an interim featherweight championship match will be held on the same night the current champ fights.

Assuming JJ gets out of jail any time soon. 198 is stacked too. Werdum/ Miocic, Jacare/Belfort, Maia/Matt Brown, Shogun/Corey Anderson, Anderson Silva/Uriah Hall, Cyborg. Damn strong card. 200 should still be alright, I just don't like that UFC is deliberately holding up the 145 title while Conor decides to play around in weight classes. It's pretty obvious he has no interest in fighting Frankie, who by my estimation is number one contender. The first fight with Aldo was close and competitive, but I think Frankie's pace could wear Aldo down the second time around. I feel like Aldo's confidence is shaken the same way Barao's was when he lost. A full camp is trouble for McGregor against Diaz, then Dana's meal ticket will be limited on his options. |

Well with McGregor/Diaz fully Cheech and Chong'd, I can't imagine the mad scramble for a main event.

Looks like Cormier aND Jones is set to headline UFC 200 now in a Unification Bout. Jones enters as a 3-1 favorite. |

Looks like Cormier aND Jones is set to headline UFC 200 now in a Unification Bout. Jones enters as a 3-1 favorite. If the same Jones that showed up Saturday shows up for 200 I'd definitely put some money down on Cormier. I don't like the guy (Mainly for what he did to Hendo  ...) But the dude has got talent. We'll just have to wait and see though. Jones did have a good point for the way he performed last because St.Preux stepped in on short notice but still. If he wants to call himself a GOAT, you'd expect him to have beaten him on easily with a full camp. Either way, I'm excited for all the fights regardless. First time since UFC 33 3 titles have all been defended in one event. I like the Velasquez vs Browne fight the most. I'd love to see Cain whoop on him but I wouldn't sleep on Browne at all. |

More excited for JJ/DC than I was for Diaz/CM, this card is going to be awesome.
