Looks official now! I like it, I didn't really like the Diaz/McGregor rematch anyway. Wonder if McGregor will finally drop back down and face the winner of frankie/aldo?

I'm glad this is happening. I see both sides to the argument with CM and it's great how he's representing for fighter pay, but I'm over it at this point and ready to move on.

I thought Jones had to get his foot examined, it could be broken and he may be out 6 months.

Maybe they already did the tests?

Wow 3 title fights at 200!!

medical suspensions are 90% ********. he says his foot is fine and they wouldn't market a fight if it had the potential to fall off the card days later after this CM debacle.

i think is nuts that UFC makes a card that makes sense for the sport and everyone is *****ing bc connie's circus is not part of it.  this is the best card ever with jones and DC on it. the only way it wouldve been better is a super fight with current champs but UFC didnt really try for that.

It's a great card. It won't break the 1.6M of UFC 100, but it'll probably break 1M, and then they'll have Conor headline one of the late summer cards, boosting what would have been a weaker show above 1M. 

Conor overplayed his hand and the UFC don't get shook.

Just bought my tickets.  I like this card better without McGregor-Diaz II

Considering UFC 200 sells itself at this point (UFC was never dependent on Irish fanbase), and Conor on an event sells itself, it actually somewhat makes sense to make them separate.

Jones digs about sending dc mail for his kids was pretty low ..

I thought it was funny.

It was also funny when a New Yorker said to Jon "did you bring your crack dealer with you?"

Although Jones is back in the action after winning vs. St. Preux, I'd definitely love to see McGregor vs Diaz, is that just me?

we can watch connie fight diaz anytime???? also its a fight no reason.  UFC 200 is suppose to promote the sport of MMA and 3 title fights shows that.  Do you guys care about growing the sport or growing a circus???  Conor should have been more concerned about the belt he won then nate diaz.

UFC saved Conor from himself. Losing back to back to Nate, then losing his title would be disastrous for both

I just can't believe Woodley may be getting a title shot.  Who has he really beat to earn that shot?

I don't really consider his win over Condit a win as Condit blew his knee out and I don't think as that fight progressed Woodley had the gas tank to keep up with Condit.

I would rather see Condit-Lawler 2 at UFC 200 and give us 4 title/interim Title fights.

My guess is that they want to give Robbie a break from all these hitters.

I wouldn't be surprised if they jump over Woodley and book Diaz against Lawler II, in Diaz' return fight from suspension at UFC 201.
