There were 2 options that made sense: Frankie or Aldo.
The Diaz rematch makes no sense. Maybe a few fights down the line but his next fight?
I don't get it.

ok just throwing this out there theory or hunch

Is this just a Super fight....GSP vs Conner event? (assuming Diaz looses)....I have this feeling the UFC picked Diaz for a reason....all the recent talk of GSP doing a 6 week training camp...Conner vs Lawlor sells a 1/2 of what Conner vs Gsp does

Hate that Dana is not forcing his dildo Conner to give up his 145 belt

Champ Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz – non-title bout
Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar – for interim featherweight title
Travis Browne vs. Cain Velasquez
Derek Brunson vs. Gegard Mousasi
Joe Lauzon vs. Diego Sanchez
Kelvin Gastelum vs. Johny Hendricks

I'm so disappointed this is the best the UFC could come up with for the 200 milestone.
Joe Lauzon vs. Diego Sanchez ? wow.

Don't get me wrong, I wont bitch because I watch the fights through live streaming and not paid since the PrideFC days.
Plus, in all fairness, Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar is a fun fight, and I'm somewhat curious to see what Diaz can do with a proper camp, or if Conor can better train to hold the 170 better.

Guess the disappointment, is that I wanted a HUGE card. Nothing on this one makes any sense.

I'd put this for a wicked UFC 200
McGregor - Edgar
Diaz - Pettis ( I'm open to a title with RDA but expect Nate to be destroyed yet again)
Rory MacDonald - Stephen Thompson

.....and if it could be done, Lawler - GSP would headline.

That is a card you expect for UFC 200.

If I could upvote your comment, I'd do so a million times.

I guess Uncle Dana will turn his attention to making up for this shite 200 card with a stellar NYC card...

The fact that a non-title bout is headlining above a title fight further devalues the FW belt. I get that Conor is the big draw now, but if the UFC wants to be regarded as more of a SPORT as opposed to a WWE SHOW, they gotta do better than this.

They found a replacement for DC. Ovince St. Pruex will face Jon Jones in the UFC 197 headliner. Should be a good one.

Wow, it's for an interim belt? This is the first fight DC has pulled out of in the UFC, that's a slap in the face.

I gotta feeling it'll be Jones v Cormier at 200. They need something big to fix that disaster of a card.

Something smells bad about this DC pulling out, I would not put it past Dana thinking quick turn around for Jones to fight again at UFC 200....perhaps Ovince St. Pruex can play the spoiler to Dana like Bisbing and Diaz did

Change your tampon, ice your shinsplints and but ready for UFC 200. My practice is starting, I'll check in later for this answer of yours✌��️

Yet another UFC main fight is out due to injury.

Tony Ferguson has had to pull out fighting against Nurmagomedov on April 16th. > Story Here

I really hope Nurmagomedov remains on the card. I'd like to see him now fight RDA, but Dos Anjos wants the fight in July for UFC 200.
Yes, that would be good for the card, but Nurmagomedov is healthy now.

Real shame on the timing.

Lame replacement opponent - the UFC decision making process is baffling sometimes. :frusty:
