I would almost guarantee that it's McGregor v Diaz. Why would the UFC walk away from the hype around this match? I guarantee that Conor still wants it, we know that it's what Nate wants. It doesn't matter that Nate is on vacation because that event will be like 3 months from now. So they will get a big PPV buy rate for 200 because it's 200 and because of Jones/DC 2 and then they get a huge PPV buy rate right after. The UFC wins and probably pays Conor a little less.
I could see them doing this fight in London or Manchester seating more than 20,000. They go McGregor v Diaz main and then Bisping v MW champ if healthy or the Vitor/Jacare winner if MW champ not ready co-main. After that they could fight Reem if he's healthy vs another top HW, Gus v Bader, and Manuwau v Krylov if Krylov wins this Saturday. Every fight has at least one European in it. I think they could break the gate record with this card. I also think it sells 1M plus PPVs. The under card would get filled with other euro fighters like Saffiedine, Magomedov and Tumenov who could all fight American opponents. The card would be huge now and infuse even more excitement from the British Isles all the way to Russia.
