Is UFC 200 going to have 4 or 5 title fights (Or 5 round fights)?

Right now there's McGregor/Diaz in a 5 round fight and Aldo/Edgar. There's talk of Tate/Nunes being on the card but I refuse to believe that would be the co-main event so that's 3 5 round fights without a co-main announced. If Jones gets past OSP comfortably, then it's possible Cormier Jones gets added to it as well. So that could be...

McGregor vs. Diaz
Jones vs. Cormier
Tate vs. Nunes
Aldo vs. Edgar

And they may yet add Lawler. They may need to book 5 hours for the PPV
 
Hopefully 6.

They should just make interim belts for every division so the event has a belt on the line every fight.
 
I would be very very disappointed if we get;

McGregor vs Diaz
Tate vs Nunes
Aldo vs Edgar
Cain vs Browne
Hendricks vs Gastelum

RDA wants to fight at UFC 200, Cormier is ready for UFC 200, Lawler is ready for UFC 200, GSP is rumored to make a come back at UFC 200. They have all the ingredients to make the best fucking card ever but they have been announcing these weird fights.

McGregor vs Diaz
Lawler vs GSP
RDA vs Khabib
Aldo vs Edgar
Tate vs Nunes

Now that would be amazing.
 
Right now we're at 4 title fights with the co-main unannounced.
Diaz-McGregor 2
Unknown Co-main
Aldo-Edgar 2
Tate-Nunes

Co-Main will probably be Cormier-Jones/OSP winner, Lawler (prob Condit 2, Woodley seems to be looking for a fight on the Ottawa card and I don't think GSP is back), or maybe RDA-Alvarez (Khabib-Ferguson is possibly being rescheduled for the May 29 Almeida-Garbrandt card).
 
If they were going to have that many title fight I wish that they would have a 10 min first round 5 min 2nd and 3rd round like Pride. Just to speed up the card a little bit.
 
expect two more title fights hopefully Jones vs Cormier 2 and Lawler vs GSP and make the main event Jones vs Cormier 2
 
We're topped out when it comes to 5 round fights. They've reiterated countless times about never doing 3 title fights on another card after the last disaster, and the repeated tries by other promotions like Titan haven't helped in the slightest.

Tate/Nunes, Aldo/Edgar, and Diaz/McGregor is more than enough when it comes to 5 round fights. Added with the other fights already announced, and it's more than set.

Are we legitimately getting to the point where we're going to complain about a main card with

Diaz/McGregor
Tate/Nunes
Aldo/Edgar
Browne/Cain
Hendricks/Gastelum? Because that's an incredibly freaking solid main card.

The main event will be McGregor. If you can get over your hatred of him, you will understand that the biggest stars go on last.

Doubtful. I don't know what the problem with 5 rounds fights are supposed to be. Especially with a show like 200 which you're tyring to make special. You go all out on things like that. Book extra PPV time if you have to. I can't see how whatever the co-main event is, it isn't going to be 5 rounds as well.

It's more so that every attempt to have 3 title fights ends with 3 fights going to lackluster decisions. It's almost as if it's cursed. Imagine the first fight drags out incredibly long. The second fight begins slow, now your mood is essentially spoiled for the rest of your enjoyment
 
They already have 3 which I don't think has ever happened before.
 
I feel like they're going to make Cain vs Browne the FS1 prelim headliner.

That's going to be the main card.

Ppv slots aren't 5 hours long

If big stars are involved as with Diaz/McGregor and Jones/Cormier and Aldo/Edgar, every moment should be exciting regardless of whether or not they go the full 5 rounds

UFC 33 had 3 title fights on the main card, all going to a decision. They went over their allotted PPV time and the signal cut off for many people watching during the main event.

But that's not how it works. There's no guarantee on something like that, and it can't be left up to chance.
