Wednesday night brought some major news for the landmark UFC 200 event this summer in Las Vegas. We know the main event will be a welterweight non-title rematch between featherweight champ Conor McGregor (19-3 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Nate Diaz (19-10 MMA, 14-8 UFC), who will run back their fight from UFC 196 that UFC President Dana White said was in the ballpark of a promotional record for pay-per-view sales. We also know there will be one title fight, albeit of the interim variety, when former featherweight champ Jose Aldo (25-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) meets former lightweight titleholder Frankie Edgar (20-4-1 MMA, 14-4-1 UFC) for the temporary belt at 145 pounds. The interim tag was decided on by the UFC when McGregor wanted his next fight to be the rematch with Diaz and not a defense of his belt. But Wednesday night on ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” UFC President Dana White said UFC 200, which takes place July 9 at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a main card on pay-per-view, could wind up with a women’s title fight. At the very least, he believes the event will have a couple women’s fights as part of the lineup.
