Several Major Fights Officially Announced For UFC 200

Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar - Interim Featherweight Championship

Since McGregor won the 145 pound title with a 13-second knockout over Jose Aldo in December 2015, both the former champion and top contender Frankie Edgar have been clamoring for a chance to step inside the octagon with the outspoken warrior. Both men have been vocal in their displeasure at being overlooked for the fight and are resentful that their division's belt is being help up while Conor foregoes defending it to chase redemption. Now, rather than wait around for the fateful matchmaking of the UFC to determine which man will get the opportunity to challenge for the title when - and if - McGregor returns to the featherweight ranks, the two will face off in the cage in a skirmish that will decide an interim champion. Having the 145 pound title be held up to the point that it requires an interim belt when the actual champ is not out with an injury but rather fighting on the same card is already drawing heavy criticism from those in and outside of the UFC, but at this point the promotion is focusing strictly on the dollar signs behind the decision. Dana White has guaranteed that whoever wins the clash between Edgar (20-4-1) and Aldo (25-2) - a rematch of a fight that took place in 2013 which Aldo won via unanimous decision - will finally get to face McGregor to decide the rightful featherweight kingpin:

"Win, lose or draw in this fight against Nate Diaz (McGregor) will go in and fight either Jose or Frankie."

Hopefully this holds true, since it's already been proven that Conor is basically writing his own ticket at this point. What else does UFC 200 have in store?
