Fighting TBD at UFC 200. 

My guess would be either Stefan Struve or Bigfoot Silva. 

Mark Hunt is the only other top 15-20 HW not scheduled, and I don't think the UFC throws Brock in against him. Bad idea. 

I'm hoping for Lesnar v. Struve.

I hope he wins in his return. Would suck for him to come back and lose especially if he's not facing a top top heavyweight.

I was hoping for Fedor.  Going to take some big bucks though.  Is Mir physically able.  Rubber match would make the most sense

@knockoutsrock21  I think Mir got suspended for failing an in competition drug test.  And even if he hasn't, Mir has gotten really out of shape since he lost to Mark Hunt.  I don't expect Mir to make that quick of a turnaround just to fight Lesnar.

So risky for WWE, the unstoppable rep Brock has there could just vanish

Hunt Vs Lesner

i honestly couldn't care less that Lesner is returning but I'm sure they'll want to put him against the person with the biggest draw witch is probably Hunt

I guess the UFC is now copying Bellator's freak fights.

I don;t see the point of Lesnar in the UFC. his younger self got wrecked. I bet this is a one time deal to try to cover for the Nate vs Conor dumped fight

The point is, the UFC are freaking out because UFC 200 isn't going to even break 1M PPVs, let alone break their 1.6M PPVs record.

Without Conor, they need to card to at least do better than his PPVs, otherwise all the power they gained by taking him off the card goes right back to him.

Jon Jones has never broke the 1M PPV mark (his last fight did a measly 350K, and that had a "Jones' return" stroyline to it).

We all know that stacking a card means nothing without a marketable headliner (UFC 178 was STACKED and did 205K even though the majority of the marketing was done while Jones was still the headliner).

GSP and Ronda aren't coming back for UFC 200 and the last guy other than them to break the 1M PPV mark was Brock Lesnar (well, Rashad too, but I doubt he brings in a million these days ;) ).

At the end of the day, with heavy marketing, Brock, stacked card it will end up breaking the 1.2M PPV mark (though I don't think Brock on a card will have the same effect it had when he was champion of the world and looked like an invincible beast, he will still bring in the numbers), but with all that AND Conor headlining they could've had their first 2M PPV MMA card. The centennial cards don't come along every day and they're missing out on an opportunity with this one, no matter how well the card does, the numbers so far have shown that with Conor headlining it would do 40%-60% better. I guess that's a price they're willing to pay in order to keep the power in their hands and not see it shift in the fighters' direction.

Good move even though it is only one fight.
