What fights will be added to UFC 230?

Throw New Yorker Gregor Gillespie on that card against a top 15 opponent

Kevin Lee vs. Justin Gaethje or Al Iaquinta

Wonderboy Thompson, Colby Covington, Kamaru Usman and Ben Askren don’t have fights booked.

Looks like Cormier has been dropping weight, would not be shocked to see him headline this and defend the LHW title against Gustafsson or Jon Jones.

They already have Rockhold/Weidman. Also these other fights. I don’t expect much more to be added except prelim fights.

Middleweight Ronaldo Souza vs. David Branch

Middleweight Yoel Romero vs. Paulo Costa

Lightweight Dustin Poirier vs. Nate Diaz

Middleweight Derek Brunson vs. Israel Adesanya

Welterweight Lyman Good vs. Sultan Aliev

Bantamweight Brian Kelleher vs. Domingo Pilarte

Lightweight Matt Frevola vs. Lando Vannata

Middleweight Karl Roberson vs. Jack Marshman

You're right. But many UFC cards are 14 fights deep. 12 fights is the minimum typically. So there's a need for a Prelim Main Event and 1 more main card fight or 2 more main card fights and Brunson/Adesanya as the prelim main event.</p>

Since there's no title fight on the card they'll need to add a couple more marquee matchups.

CRE, the UFC needs to hire you as a matchmaker!

…of course we would end up with Askren on every PPV but we could live with that. :slight_smile:

A talent relations liaison in the mold of a Joe Silva?

It’s much more difficult to actually do that job than it is to ponder possibilities. The travel alone is rough.
