There are 3 rematches at UFC 200: Jones vs DC, Aldo vs Edgar, and TJ vs Raphael.
Idk about you guys but I am not unhappy about any of these fights, all 3 are FOTN rematches between the top 3-4 guys of their respective divisions-
-Jones and DC are number 1 and 2 at LHW
-I really strongly doubt Conor goes back to FW - I think they are trying to set up a Conor vs RDA fight in the event that Conor beats Nate in the rematch. Regardless, Conor, Edgar, and Aldo are the top 3 at FW right now.
-Its hard to say Raphael isn't at least the number 3-4 guy at bantamweight with his win streak and wins over TJ and Caraway, while Dillashaw is definitely number 2 behind Cruz.
I know a lot of people maybe would've rather seen Rumble vs Jones, but right now I actually prefer the DC vs Jones rematch - if Rumble can beat Glover then Rumble vs Jones could be the perfect headliner for MSG. Other than TJ vs Raphael the only other fight I would've preferred would've been another rematch- TJ vs Cruz 2.
Rankings wise these fights are just fantastic and I think they will also be really entertaining.
What are your guys' picks for these fights? And are there any other matchups that you would've liked to have seen for these guys other than the rematches?
