Surely they are going to add another big fight or two to this card. I know Cyborg was linked to this card but she shot down rumors. What others could we see?
 
201 isn't getting anything big added, they know the event isn't gonna be a huge draw

I expect them to build a bigger show around Conor vs Nate to help make it even bigger. 201 is a write off for zuffa

202 and 205 are the big shows likely to get stacked cards

This is what I am afraid of. Cyborg would definitely help the PPV portion of the lineup.

you can usually tell just by the main and co main if zuffa is stacking a card. Mighty vs reis and Woodley in a main event isn't a priority card for zuffa. Just lets them hit a market they haven't been to in awhile

Shitty deal because I would love to travel closer for stacked cards since I'm on the east coast. Don't like flying to Vegas for stacked cards only
 
Several good fights to make...

Gus vs. OSP
Anderson Silva vs. Uriah Hall, Robert Whitaker, Vitor (could be too close to last fight)
Anthony Pettis vs. Michael Johnson
Jeremy Stephens vs. Chad Mendes
Gunnar Nelson vs. Neil Magny
John Dodson vs. Bryan Carraway or Cody Garbrandt
Lil Nog vs. Rashad Evans
 
Dana v Helwani

Is Andy going to be ready then?
Michael Johnson would bury Pettis, Pettis shouldn't have a ranked fight imo, unless they just want to cut him
I don't think Stephens is healthy from Barao yet, but that would be a fun fight
Rashad is moving to MW so I don't think that fight would work, he could rematch Machida tho

All great points ^^^

I am just throwing out names that could potentially fit the bill. I am attending UFC 201 and am hoping they add another top level fight.
 
Post the card ts

So far UFC 201 is...

Lawler vs. Woodley for WW Title
Mighty Mouse vs. Reis for FW Title
Matt Brown vs. Ellenberger
McCall vs. Scroggins
Krylov vs. Herman
Hamilton vs Grabowski
Arzamendia vs. Brown
Brown vs Velickovic
Rivera vs Perez
C. Silva vs Bahadurzada

Rumored: Cyborg vs Germaine de Randamie at 140lbs
(Cyborg shot down rumors after UFC tonight reported it)
 
Since Hunt is fighting Lesnar at 200 looks like 201 will not get a heavyweight fight. Was holding out hope for hunt at 201.
 
Nothing major.

I think the main card is probably more or less set. It's never gonna be a great card when they've got so many events running that month.
 
There will be at least 2 main card fights added but with 2 title fights already it isn't getting another huge fight
