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.
That's on the UFC to figure out. @The G.O.D II is right. I think they add another match to the card. The champions are all booked up I get it... but they do the match making...

I know he's not but incentivize him aka pay him.
you honestly think anything the UFC offers him would trump the pay day of his proposed boxing fight? Stop it..

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.
it really isnt? Conor psychologically is dialed in to mayweather and most likely cashing out the only way he comes back to MMA is if something happens in negotiations and mayweather calls it off. There is a greater chance UFC over pays diaz money he's not worth or will ever see to face Woodley. BJJ classes can only pay for so much weed.

And Silva doesn't B want Romero nor should he be fighting for any interim title
are u saying Silva doesn't want Romero? If that's the case what was all that stuff this week in the MMA hour? What have "rights" Got to do with anything after all the leeway Lesnar, conor, bisbing and now gsp have been afforded at the expense of brown fighters?

The Floyd fight isn't happening anytime soon if at all. Go look at Diaz Instagram dude is getting blazed all day. Plus it's Nick how many fights has he turned down? Silva already turned down Romero. He just doing his troll shyt now like what werdum did with JDS. IDK what point you are trying to make what that last sentence

Nick always gettin blown like that tho. I really do think he is fighting woodley on that card or the dc jones card. Nick is probably asking for a mil with some ppv points. He is worth that. The days of skimping fighters seems to be coming to an end especially regarding the Diaz bros.

nick has had one fight in like 4years and every big name in ww and mw is still calling him out. He out here hanging out with drake. They just got mass appeal, and a brand that sells.

The ufc and diaz are just having an ego battle but the ufc needs nick far more than nick needs the ufc. If brock can get like 3 mil, i dont see why nicks demands non sensible.

Woodley said he has an opponent alredy and seemed very exited about it, its either nick or conor imo

I don't get the issue does he want to fight or does he just wanna get mad?

Woodley being excited about an opponent as a champion and we don't see any level of excitement from his opponent to me is weird. It is usually the opposite you will see the challenger all exited at fighting the champ...
