Yea, it doesn't make sense to me. They're spending a lot of money rebranding events.

They only did this because for some reason they want to postpone UFC 200! Anyone agree?

I'm confused why this is such a big deal.

I'm gonna take a wild swing in the dark, and guess that Gorgeous George supports this idea (and everything else Zuffa does, for that matter).

Yeah they told Cain to get injured, announced the Stipe fight, then told Werdum to back out...just to put this on FS1 so they could rename it and delay UFC 200 for a month.

Change of dates, fighters availability.. Idk.. That's the only explanation since there were similar situations in the past and they didn't rebrand the following events..

Nah, I don't think so. They are just going to add a May or June PPV that wasn't going to be there. If you count from 195 to 200 and match it up with the months then there would have been one month (either May or June) that wasn't going to have a PPV.

It was June. They did it that way because May's ppv is on the 28th, for Memorial Day weekend, and July was going to be the 9th, for UFC 200. So they're only six weeks apart, despite having no ppv in June. I doubt they add a June ppv, because they'd all be too close to each, and the numbers would all be hurt.
