    Is he though? In terms you think it's a shoe-in win for Hendricks? Or they're just making a fight for Kelvin to be active?

    Also Germaine de Randamie vs Anna Elmose added to Rotterdam show. Germaine would have been a much better fight for Cyborg imo as she fought at 145 in Strikeforce.

    Aldo vs Edgar 2 for interim FW title at UFC 200. Also confirmed multiple title fights on the card, would assume RDA or Lawler title fight is on there.

    Conor vs Diaz finally made official as well. Don't necessarily agree with the decision, but at least Aldo and Edgar get to fight it out over the interim belt instead of sitting on the sidelines waiting for Conor to actually defend the belt. I had heard rumors linking RDA-Alvarez to this card a few weeks ago, but those have died down. I'd like to see RDA vs Alvarez or Lawler vs Woodley

    ok that's kind of cool.

    Hope Lawler ends up on this card.

    On the bright side (assuming McGregor doesn't vacate the belt after 200) this means that the inevitable Aldo vs McGregor 2 or McGregor va Edgar will be HUGE.

    Considering Dana and Lorenzo were against the rematch and tried to talk him out of it, I can see Conor defending his title next (win lose or draw) was part of the deal with giving the rematch a green light.

    If Edgar wins, I could see it headlining whenever the NY card is.

    Counting Aldo vs. Edgar II as a title fight is such a cheap move. Interim my a---.
    I'd bet money the other title fight is Miesha. @redsoxx

    ^JJ/Gahdela 2 has been booked for months my dude. They did a TUF as opposing coaches(debut's April 20th). But they are headlining the TUF Finale card the night before UFC 200 . They are doing shows back to back to back again, like they did in December with PVZ/Namajunas, Edgar/Mendes and UFC 194.

    As for Aldo/Edgar 2 it should be for the vacant title really. Im not mad at the fight though or the "interim title", because Frankie's next fight deserves to be for a title 1000%.

    ^Yea i saw that Dana interview.

    Cat Zingano supposedly has a big fight that might end up at 200 and PVZ did an interview like a month ago saying she wanted on the card.



    Im not really expecting Miesha on the card. They already have 2 rematches going so i dont think they would do Tate/Holm 2 and Tate/Nunes is meh.

    My guess is we get Lawler vs Woodley or RDA vs Alvarez.

    Hopefully Conor's next 145 fight is in Dublin or New York

    Condit is flirting with retirement supposedly. If he is for sure coming back then obviously the rematch is the fight to make. The Woodley fight is the one i think will happen, not the fight I want to happen.

    Figured Conor would have a shot at GSP in NY if he won against Diaz. Now I'm hearing rumours if he wins the UFC 200 match up it'll happen.

    Don't think GSP should come back. He finished on top, no need to come back. If he does it's not a good match up for Conor. GSP is much bigger, stronger and has an excellent ground game. GSP might actually get a finish in that fight.

    Are they not doing Tate/Holm again at UFC 200? I assumed they'd go with that if Ronda wasn't involved, but haven't heard anything.

    But Ronda's not coming back till late this year I thought, right? So both Tate and Holm aren't doing anything at 200?

    You can't have Nate vs McGregor and Tate/Holm be the main events for 196 and have the exact same match ups again main event 200.
