Coach: It's 'pointless to upset so many fans' by keeping Conor McGregor off UFC 200

I see where you are coming from and I would personally take GSP/Silva (even now) over Conor/Diaz.
However, I'd rather see AN ACTUAL TITLE FIGHT headlining a card.
Old school, I know.

Old school is exactly the no weight limits style vs style fight gsp silva would be

In the words of the great Nate Diaz, "I think that title thing is a fairy tale, man."

This whole thing is covered in bullshit all over from every angle. The fight should have never been booked and this is just a way for them all (SBG and UFC) to get out of it while trying not to look bad.

Also, If GSP isn't fighting the Spider on UFC 200 I don't give a shit about that card anyway. "oooooh we've got Cain vs Travis Browne and Meisha fighting someone and a couple other fights with people who will fight..." Bah to all that.

Agree the fight should never have been booked so whatevs. I mean I'd watch, but a title fight of some sort should be headlining, not an irrelevant freakshow rematch....

anyone who uses his/her brain knows that this fight is gonna happen; it's just an act that they are dragging out. I just hope that they filled in Nate on the details or else he is really gonna go on vacation lol

yea sure those are some good fights but it doesn't feel like a 200. Women's championship and Edgar/Aldo2 doesn't really stir up my interest at all. I wouldn't even care to order the Pay Per View if those were the main events. I'll probably watch but this is supposed to be 200. They need one big draw fight like Diaz/Conor or bring in names like GSP vs whoever. My feelings are still 198 > 200.

just comparing some of the fights of UFC 100 to 200. Heavyweight Championship, Welterweight Championship, TUF Coaches matching up. and there was no.2 welterweight at the time (Fitch) and Akiyama's debut. also in the undercard it featured Jon Jones, Coleman, Tj Grant, Jim Miller, Stun Gun, Tom Lawlor.

now if you look at the 200 card as of now... it has Interim Title which Edgar or Aldo supposed fight for the actual Title, Women's Championship that I have very small interest of, and those 3 fights which are kind of irrelevant to the circumstances of their respective division. I Do not think these are 200 caliber type of fights. but i kind of like Cain vs Browne on the card though

A card has to be special for me to watch it live. Especially considering it would take up a Sunday afternoon that I like spending with family. And cards are free here in Korea.

Even if they add jones DC, I'd just watch the rerun.

GSP, Conor or bust for me. Nick vs anyone would also do it. Not Robbie without Nick.

after Robbie last two fights how's he not must watch???

This is an organization who fires anyone who doesn't toe the line, especially if they gain any individual popularity. See the cutman Stitch Duran, among others.

If you make the UFC a lot of money, they will give you more leeway..... to a point.

You're saying the UFC cut Stitch because he was gaining popularity?!?
Am I reading that correctly?

Less about Robbie, more about my lack of enthusiasm for his opponents.

But upon second thought, I'd totally get up to watch Robbie v Sean Thompson.

Other than that, not really interested in any of the rematches. Rory, Hendricks, condit. Who else is there?

With nick, he hasn't fought in so long id love to see him fight anyone. Also, id tune into his fights just for the Stockton slap.

Yes. He was Stitch. Not a generic cutman.

UFC didn't like that. So the second he said the most mild statement about the Reebok deal he was cut.

This is well known.

Not interested in Robbie - Condit or Robbie - Rory rematches? Really?

Not enough to take away from Sunday family time. Saturday night different story.

I'm cool with trying to stay off the internets and trying to catch a rerun.

I'm probably getting old.

The Condit - Lawler rerun is one of the fights I most want to see.

Sunday afternoon fight times are the worst, though. Glad they don't happen much where I live.

I don't remember Robbie condit enough to want to watch the rerun. It was close I think.

I'd be more excited for bj vs anyone. I'm a nostalgic sissy boy.
