I think that the UFC is going to overload this card with great fights. Mainly because so many injuries happen very often. Here's my wish list of matches (most of the fighter's I chose should be able to have full fight camps by July):
UFC 200

Jon Jones vs. "Rumble" Johnson or Fabricio Werdum/Stipe Miocic winner
Robbie Lawler vs. Nate Diaz
Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Khabib Nurmagomedoz/Tony Ferguson winner
Conor McGregor vs. Frankie Edgar
Anderson Silva vs. Georges St. Pierre
Jose Aldo vs. Max Holloway
Michelle Waterson vs. Rose Namajunas/Tecia Torres winner
TJ Dillashaw vs. John Dodson 2
Roy Nelson vs. Derrick Lewis
BJ Penn vs. Nik Lentz
CM Punk vs. Mickey Gall

Conor vs Aldo II
Tate vs Rousey III
Bisping vs Machida/Hendo
Edgar vs Holloway
Holm vs Bethe

Jones and Werdum are both fighting too close to UFC 200 to have that be a possibility. Rousey has stated she isn't fighting until November.
 
But Rousey isn't planning on fighting until November.

That's because Holm was still champ. Now that Tate has the belt, Rousey knows this is her chance to regain that title back.

It is because of Rousey's movie obligations.

I'm glad you aren't putting the card together. That's the best you can come up with? Lol man all those fights suck
 
Hopefully Rumble is on the card somewhere
 
Jon Jones vs. Anthony Johnson
Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate
Conor Mcgregor vs. Frankie Edgar
Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Tony Ferguson/Khabib
Robbie Lawler vs. Tyron Woodley/Carlos Condit
Fabricio Werdum vs. Alistair Overeem/Andrei Arvoloski

Undercard (Fox)

Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson
Anderson Silva vs. Gegard Mousasi
Lyoto Machida vs. Vitor Belfort
Holly Holm vs. Cris Cyborg
 
Jon Jones vs. Anthony Johnson
Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate
Conor Mcgregor vs. Frankie Edgar

LOL you must be from another dimension

Jones would have plenty of time, as long as he doesn't suffer serious injury. Werdum would have time for a 6 week camp if he came out of the Stipe fight unscathed. Not a lot of time, but I am assuming that being a part of the biggest fight ever on the biggest card ever (and the resulting pay day) would be enough motivation. He would be in great shape already and the weight cut is a non-issue.

Jones vs Rumble would suffice though if not, or a trilogy fight against DC if Cormier somehow wins the rematch.
 
TS, you're wanting Nate to fight back up at WW? He's a LW these days. And I think the Khabib/Ferguson fight will be a little crazy that none will probably be approved for a fight by the time 200 comes. If GSP comes back, I think a fight at this point with Anderson would be very one-sided. Anderson hasn't looked too stellar lately. I guess only one way to find out. As much as I think Frankie's been getting screwed and how dumb Aldo's been sounding lately, all in all no one can't deny his long run as champ. I say he's given the title shot.
 
If Nick was able to fight at UFC 200, the main event would be Nick vs Bisping.

Main card:
Lawler vs Woodley WW TITLE
JJ vs Rose WSW TITLE
Nate vs Ferguson
Rumble vs Jones
Aldo vs Pettis or Barboza at 145lbs

Undercard:
Wonderboy vs Condit
Edgar vs TJ
Penn vs Lamas
Overeem vs Arvloski
Cody vs Sterling

Fight Pass:
Belfort vs Jacare
Fili vs Swanson

3 title fights for the first time in over a decade including a champion vs champion super fight, 9 current or former champions. Arguably the three biggest names in the sport right now with Jones, Ronda and Conor and two of the biggest rivalries in UFC history in Rousey/Tate and Conor/Aldo. That alone would sell itself, and arguably anything more than that would be overkill and difficult to market.

Bisping is a big name coming off a huge win, and the Hendo rematch would be awesome since their first fight was at UFC 100, but Machida is a big name in his own right and former champ.

Holly is a former champion and has name value now. Bethe is known after the Ronda fight and it would be a great stylistic fight for Holly to style on her and earn another title fight. Always good to have an injury replacement option for the title fight also.

Edgar would be on the card to replace Aldo if he dropped out, and Holloway is the other fighter in the division with a potential claim to a title shot.

I suppose Werdum would have enough time if he came out of the Stipe fight unscathed. Jon Jones vs. Rumble Johnson would be good also.

Jon Jones vs. Anthony Johnson
Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate
Conor Mcgregor vs. Frankie Edgar
Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Tony Ferguson/Khabib
Robbie Lawler vs. Tyron Woodley/Carlos Condit
Fabricio Werdum vs. Alistair Overeem/Andrei Arvoloski

Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson
Anderson Silva vs. Gegard Mousasi
Lyoto Machida vs. Vitor Belfort
Holly Holm vs. Cris Cyborg
This has solid potential. But I don't think Ronda will be fighting until the end of the year.
