    DFW says you are a goof and not to buy it, then.


    I'm surprised they went with this fight. It's so logical. Runs against the kind of fights they've been booking for six months.

    Three five round fights, with Aldo/Edgar very likely to go the distance, sounds like a problem.

    They are likely banking on mcgregor Diaz ending in the first two rounds

    Miesha Tate was offered a rematch with Holly Holm but decided to fight Amanda Nunes instead.

    Makes total sense to me. No need to rush towards rematches. Everything will come back around in time.

    They have booked Fury/Klitschko 2 on the same day as this event.

    Since it will be in Europe, it should finish before UFC 200 gets rolling.

    Makes for a great day of fights!

    Tate's manager says this is a false rumour.

    Still a chance the UFC will attempt to squeeze a welterweight title fight onto this card. Supposedly negotiations are ongoing. Likely scenario is Lawler/Condit 2 but Lawler/Woodley is also an option.

    Main card would need to go down to four fights if they were all five rounds (20 total rounds vs. 19 for a normal, five-fight card).

    It would make it an A+ card, IMO. Right now it is a B+ in my book since the two main events make no sense despite being very competitive. Mousasi/Brunson as the fifth PPV fight is not great.

    Supposedly Woodley is 90% sure he's fighting on this card? Its gotta be RL/Twood.

    RDA believes he'll be fighting Eddie Alvarez next. Could be at 200.

    Either RDA or Lawler will be on 200.

    I'm okay with that.

    They might be waiting to see if Nurmagomedov starches Horcher this weekend.

    With a win over RDA already under his belt, he'd be the obvious candidate to fight for the title. He'd probably be happy to fight in 2.5-months or so if it was for the belt.

    Ferguson is on a streak but when you pull out of a fight you pretty much give up your spot for the time being.

    RDA is beginning training camp next week so it seems extremely likely he's booked for UFC 200. If Khabib isn't good to go he'll probably fight Ferguson or Alvarez.
