He said the UFC is in preliminary talks for these 3 fights for July during intl fight week;

DC vs Stipe for hw belt
Nunes vs Cyborg for fw belt
Tj vs DJ for flyweight belt

All 3 champ vs champ on the same night, how bad do you want to see this go down?
 
They want DJ vs. TJ, Nunes vs. Cyborg, and winner of Khabib/Ferg vs. Conor.
 
If DC is to be believed it'll be Stipe vs Cain instead.
 
Tie up 6 divisions to have 3 fights that will sell 500,000 PPVs? There is absolutely zero chance this even enters Dana's head.
 
Not interested in DC vs stipe

The two others i like
 
I think it will be something like;

DJ vs TJ
Nunes vs Cyborg
FLW Champ (forgot her name) vs Shevchenko
 
I wonder if MM would be able to reduce the PPV count on a such stacked card.
He is the literal anti-draw. This can't be disputed. When he is the actual main event people just walk out of the arena. We've seen it multiple times. It's why they have to put him as the co main now just so people stay until the end of the show.
 
They want DJ vs. TJ, Nunes vs. Cyborg, and winner of Khabib/Ferg vs. Conor.

They won't waste the conor fight on that card. It will do a huge number on it's own, why pair it up with the other title fights.

Plus conor is going to take a big chunk of the PPV money.
 
overkill, I rather have it balanced it out throughout the whole year
 
TJ will be on the Friday night imo.

2 title fights on the Saturday. 1 Friday.
 
And the PPV's before and after that will be crap.
Honestly. 3 title fights but 6 champions from 6 divisions. Not that smart. Sure it will be big numbers. But conor vs nate 3 with no title even on the line would still be bigger
 
Nah because anything 135 or under doesn't count including wmma
