UFC 200 is actually pretty good. it's not UFC 198.

[ClosetVitorFan]

But it's good. UFC 198 is MY UFC 200. I like Aldo vs Edgar 2 and jones vs DC 2. Two solid fights. Also Cain. Miesha, etc.

I crunched some of the numbers and ufc is better off without Conor on 200. UFC actually makes MORE money with Conor vs Diaz being on ufc 201. Because ufc 200 was going to sell regardless. Why stack a card so much when all u need is one guy to break a million buys?

How exactly did you 'crunch some of the numbers'?

Don't love 198 as much as most. Only really elite fight is Werdum vs Stipe

Maia vs Brown - Browns just way overmatched here grappling.
Vitor vs Jacare - same as above.
Anderson vs Hill - Anderson is a shell of his former self, his performance against Bisping was pitiful, and Halls never been that good.
Shogun needs to retire
Lil Nog needs to retire.

I get the nostalgia because this card has a lot of once greats, but the average age is like 38.

I'm starting to get a better feel for UFC 200 but It's not epic enough I need more.

I don't know what they have planned if it's real big or if it's just "Dana big".

For now it's just a good card if they want to be epic then we need more:
- GSP
- Fedor
- bonus add Nate / Conor

Yea UFC 200 will do good buys with Conor you can add in around 500k casuals but still it will be the summer card with the mega push from the company the 200 name and the fight week plus pushed by the other fight card of the week it will already do monster numbers so business wise a move of Nate/Conor to 202-203 wouldn't be that bad for them.

I agree its missing 1 more big fight. I think they're gonna keep it at 4 fights for the main card bc 3 are 5 round title fights, and all 3 potentially could go the full 5. That would leave the other fight as Cain vs Browne.. a good matchup but IMO nothing great.
