Ufc are going to do a "time is now" type presser next week and the only male fighters they can announce are chiesa vs lee? That card is pretty stacked for a UFN but the actual fight is not what I call "go big"

Why the hell wouldn't they be the main event

Because it's their big show. Their mania. Look at years pat

2012- Silva, Sonnen
2013- Silva
2014- Ronda, Machida, Weidman
2015- Lawler, Mcgregor
2016- Brock, Silva, Aldo, Edgar
2017- TJ, Cody


What is not like the others?

It's a stacked card but for casual? That's just another UFC card

Realistically, what big fights could the UFC added to this card? Jones/Cormier II coincides too closely to the end of Jones' suspension. GSP's return wouldn't work either as he said he won't be ready until the last quarter of 2017.

The word was realistically? Conor is not doing MMA for the foreseeable future.

The answer would be something random like a diaz/woodley or romero/silva

I know he's not but incentivize him aka pay him. UFC already had two massive buyrates by this time last year. These cards are not only week but not interesting anyone Connor/Woodley(I hate the idea as a fan I'm speaking from an business perspective) is more realistic then Woodley/Diaz. And Silva doesn't B want Romero nor should he be fighting for any interim title
