A lot of "wants to" means nothing.

Yeah but looks like most of them will really fight this year.
Nate Diaz had a fight scheduled and Poirier pulled.
Nick Diaz is working on a fight with Masvidal.
Cain said he's healthy and wants to fight in 2019.
Brock might be the only guy who won't fight, but he's been in the pool for some time. He'd probably fight DC in his final fight.

Of course everything can change, MMA is unpredictable but if everything goes well. It should be an amazing year. Not just for UFC, but for MMA.
 
Fighters continue to get paid chump change in 2019
 
Unsure, but maybe. Some of those things in the OP aren't necessarily good. Silva and GSP and Cain and Brock all have mileage on them at this point. Getting Jones, Conor and Khabib in the cage would be a good thing.
 
Literally any year before the WMMA cancer started spreading was better.
 
Financially it will be huge for UFC, but WTF knows for fans (as far as what they want)?

Two many variable about injuries, sit-outs, contract disputes to predict anything
 
Most of the fighters are hanging out for the big pay day.
 
False.
Injuries, missing weight, interim championships.

also lol @ Cain coming back. I wouldn't advise being overly excited for that.

If all of the above fight, that's massive
 
false

nothing to add really other than I dont think alot of what could be will come to fruition and/or will be underwhelming, UFC needs some fresh ideas to their business model to make the jump over the next hurdle, IMO

lol Cain's been due back since about 1867. I think we will still see threads on here in 2025 about Cain's return.
 
False.
 
Dropping the twinkieweight division will be good for the UFC's backend. I expect 2020 will be better than 2019.

You doubt Conor will come back? Lol why? Because he lost a fight?
He will come back 100%. You were probably saying e'd never fight Floyd and he would never fight Habib
All of the things I listed are all highly likely except GSP's comeback.
