UFC 208 is just a month away and no one has been named to headline the card. There are only 3 main UFC events scheduled at the moment to March 4th in 2017 so we might end up with 4 PPVs for the first quarter of 2017 but no fights have been announced yet.
This seems odd to me because I think generally in the past the UFC would have announced who is going to fight in advance for the fighters time to prepare a camp train to beat fighter 'x', so this doesn't leave much time to prepare for the fight especially for UFC 208.
I'm thinking they will probably get names like Aldo, Bisping, Khabib, Stipe, Overeem etc on these cards.
Are these announced events simple placeholders whilst WME negotiated a bigTV deal in 2017?
