@rappinpapsoda: Might be too close to UFC 200 to realistically happen. However I think they're going to try to have him fight in an event prior to UFC 200 (different weight classes). But I definitely think McGregor will fight at UFC 200.

I think they would be afraid he is going to lose. That is unless they out him against a Siver like fighter again.

very cool thread idea.

1) Khabib actaully fights

2) and becomes LW champ before getting hurt again

3) Anderson somehow looks as bad or worse than he did against Diaz and hangs em up after one big superfight that should have happended years ago.

4) Holm wins rematch and fights Cyborg in Cyborg's debute.

5) GSP returns for random fight 1 time fight maybe against Bendo and then retires again for good.

6) the rally for Condit begins until he gets his rematch, then after he gets it and wins he retires as champ.

7) Aldo gets rematch with Conor and spoils his plans of 155

8) Frankie never sees a title shot

9) Due to the lay off Jones has way tougher time this time around with DC and continplates a move to HW

10) Reem beats Werdum easily but then gets KO'd in his first defence

11) Bader weathers the early storm to upset Rumble in a boring decision win, and faces winner of DC/ Jones only to get destroyed by them.

I could see 11 happening. Bader is -500 so could be a good pick.

cormier beats jj and breaks some ribs in the process and the crowd goes wild.

tate beats holm and then a miracle happens and she breaks rousey's, orbital bone and pelvic bone and  rousey taps to STRIKES. sisssy girl.

they have some 125 and 145 fights and the woman out perform the men. much better action.

aldo loses in 2.5 seconds to McGregor for the fastest fight ending EVA. moves up to LW and faces Poirier where Poirier gets his revenge.

PVZ fights justine Kish and its some blonde on blonde crime.

more russian fighters fight in the ufc and Vladmir Putin comes to an event in vegas and baldy makes a new friend.

when Yoel Romeo fights rockhold for the MW title (a fighter i have always won money with and has been an underdog in half his fights in the ufc) he wins again. he will kick LR in the nuts, poke his eye, grab the fence and sit on the stool for 1 minute and still won't get penalized. all i got to say is YO YO YO Yo YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. my favorite fighter ever.

So far some of those predictions have materialized. 

The RDA vs Conor, Holm vs Tate and Cruz defeating Dillahole, and Rose vs Torres have all happened or are going to.

Although a couple of those are not necessarily 'Bold' by any means.
