I think they have to wait 4 months before they, and any other promotion, can officially book a show so that'd put it off into the Summer. I think they'd want to stack the first NY card sky high so they may wait until fall. I guess they could have a Sept. card and a Dec. card.

Jones vs Rumble at UFC 200 and Jones vs Werdum in Madison Square Garden. I'm assuming he beats DC and Rumble of course.

I agree, I bet they want to make the first NY card massive, since they've been lobbying so long for the possibility.

I don't think so. They'll just make it mediocre as possible. They want to ease into the market there...

Lorenzo already said on the conference call earlier that the best fights possible will be put on the NY card.

First Niagara Center in Buffalo might set the record for fastest sell out. Especially if Jones and Rashad (two local boys) are on the card. Throw in some Canadian fighters and the cash will be flowing.

I couldn't disagree more, and I fail to see your logic aswell.
