Looking like Cerrone or Diaz are favourites to replace.

[EwarWoo]

Bugger.

Well, neither's gunna come close so would be good to see Diaz get his head smashed in.

[meffin]

I think Cerrone would beat McGregor. Diaz wouldn't get close

Triple threat main event at 200 with Lawler!

[Gibbo]

Artem can come in with a steel chair when the ref is distracted.

[Gibbo]

Just seen Pettis has asked for the fight.

That would be lovely.

[Gibbo]

Aldo has turned down a rematch, said he's not ready.

[spud_gun]

I'd be surprised if McGregor fights on this card.

[Gibbo]

The problem that they have is that even with Holm on the card this card is utter ****e.

Not sure Dana can cancel another UFC 196.

[spud_gun]

Don't think they'll cancel the card.

I'd be surprised if he fights because Dos Anjos belt is off the table so why would he fight at the higher weight in a non-title fight? Lose and I'd imagine the DOS Santos fight is out the window.

As for his own belt my concern would be if he were able to cut weight safely enough to defend it especially when his focus has been at fighting 10lbs heavier for his camp.

Pug him on the shelf till 200 vs a fit(?) Dos Anjos or a Aldo rematch.

[Gibbo]

Faber should put a picture out showing he's 158 and will take the fight.

Everyone wants it.

Nick and Nate both making noise now as well.

[Gibbo]

Apparently Nate won't happen because the catch weight requested would be 165, which the UFC won't allow and Nate couldn't make the weight any lower.

[Gibbo]

Saw someone make a good point earlier.

If they don't make it for the interim belt - Does Conor still headline and is it still a 5 round fight?

[Gibbo]

Kavanagh just posted a "".

Helwani thinks it's Diaz. Seeing him and McGregor go at it is gonna be nuts.
