Dana White has announced Jon Jones will not be in the main event at UFC 230. So, who will head the biggest card of the year if its not Jon? You need a title fight to be the main event and they are short on title matches. There are only two option left one is Woodley and Covington which is not very likely since Woodley just fought. I think there is only one fight big enough for this card and its DC vs Brock. I don't know how the UFC is going to put this together but Jon Jones was just cleared to fight so why not Brock. Dana White said in an interview yesterday that they were in the process of finalizing the main event. What he really was saying was working a deal with USADA to get Brock back. I have a link of Dana White's interview below. Let me know your thoughts.
My conspiracy theory, no evidence whatsoever: the UFC doesn't want to announce anything because they're hoping that Conor one-punch KOs Khabib. If he does, they announce Conor-GSP for the fight which would be something like 30 days later.
Its not Woodley vs Covington, Woodley is out with hand injury.
My guess is Jones vs Stipe or Jones vs Gus (regardless of what Dana said)
Or maybe:
Cejudo vs Dillashaw (Are they both ready to go?)
Rose vs Andrade (if Rose is ready to go as shes been dealing with an injury)
GSP vs Kevin Lee (IDK, just thinking of someone for GSP to fight and it proves he can make 155)
All else fails, add a co-main that is not for a title and make Diaz vs Poirer the main event.
I doubt they will have Conor come right back and fight like was said as they would be stupid to do that considering they could charge WAY MORE for GSP vs Conor tickets then what they will charge for 230 with any other main event.

who the fuck said it would be OVER Jon Jones?
Reading comprehension clearly is not your thing.
Another option I didn’t mention is move the 125 WMMA title to the main event of this card and find a new main even for Dec which gives them a few more weeks.
