The main card that I would like to see for UFC 205.
Maybe wishful thinking, but very possible as well.

UFC 205: New York City, NY - Madison Square Garden
Main Card - Pay Per View
Jose Aldo vs. Anthony Pettis (145 lb. Championship) (Based on McGregor not returning to 145)
Jon Jones vs. Anthony Johnson (205 lb. #1 Contender) (Based on Jones not being suspended)
Nick Diaz vs. Donald Cerrone (170 lb. #1 Contender)
T.J. Dillashaw vs. Cody Garbrandt (135 lb. #1 Contender)
Cris Cyborg vs. Cat Zingano (Women's 140 lb. Catchweight)

Preliminary Card - Fox Sports 1
Edson Barboza vs. Michael Chiesa (155 lb. Bout)
Al Iaquinta vs. Thiago Alves (155 lb. Bout)
Tecia Torres vs. Carla Esparza (Women's 115 lb. Bout)

Jose Aldo vs Anthony Pettis???

<36>

I see Pettis making quick work of Oliviera this weekend.
McGregor will be out 6+ months with fucked up ankle and I don't see him returning to 145.
Max Holloway isn't as marketable as Pettis
Those are my reasonings

I have Pettis winning as well but to go from not even ranked to fighting Jose? lol, no way. MSG is 2 1/2 months away, not happening.
Conor got cleared today in case you haven't heard.
It's not happening man, wishful thinking indeed.
 
Max Holloway isn't as marketable as Pettis
There is literally no chance of Pettis getting a title shot over Holloway no matter how he is to beat Oliveira. A nine fight win streak markets itself, Pettis is on the cusp of being cut.

I think you're underestimating how much Hawaiians fucking love Holloway.
 
The third fight on that main card is confusing the shit out of me? Cerrone v Nick Diaz for 170 #1 contender? You're smoking that primo Diaz shit on both counts right there.
 
Aldo won't headline the NYC card, he isn't a big draw.

You're f*cking nuts, if you think Pettis would get that shot over Holloway. You should be taken out back and beaten with a roll of half dollars. Didn't even read the rest. Smh.

Very valid point. I'm just having a hard time finding something to headline that card.
McGregor won't be ready by November
Cormier/Jones 2 is too risky
Ronda isnt returning in time
 
Everybody is defending Holloway (I don't discredit his accomplishments), but there is a reason he hasn't had a title shot yet. Its not far fetched that I think he could get overlooked/jumped again
 
Johnson vs DC
Alvarez vs Khabib
Weidman vs Jacare for #1
Lineker vs Garbrandt for #1
Cigano vs Velasquez IV for #1
Silva vs Belfort II
 
And where are Rockhold and Weidman ?

Neither one of those guys will take this rematch instead of the winner of Bisping/Hendo.
I thought about Weidman/Rockhold or Rockhold/Anderson, but I think Weidman and Luke rather fight for the title
 
Not necessarily my dream card but I'd say this is a bit more realistic for 205:

Cormier vs. Johnson for title or Johnson vs. Jones for #1 Contender...

Alvarez vs. Nurmagomedov or McGregor if it's true he was cleared by doctors....

I could see Cruz vs. Garbrandt on this card.

I've been hearing Weidman vs. Whitaker is linked to 205... I think this would be an interesting one...

Iaquinta vs. Alves has been linked to the card I could see it as a PPV opener or Preliminary headliner...

A big fight I'd like to see on the card is Lawler vs. Cerrone. If they could come to a contract agreement with Cerrone fast I think this would be a perfect fight to have for the first NYC UFC Event... Has fireworks written all over it.
 
NEW MAIN CARD Conor Mcgregor vs CM Punk.

Conor has a fractured ankle. So its fair. LET THEM BOTH MAKE MONIES.
