Since it was announced by Ultimate president Dana White that the organization planned to hold UFC 194, scheduled for December, at Cowboys stadium, for more than 100 thousand people in Texas (USA), speculation began about which athletes would be part of the stellar card. This Wednesday (05), the official commentator Kenny Florian further piqued fans' curiosity when designing its schedule for the event.

During “UFC Tonight”, the official newspaper of the North American TV organization, Florian outlined a schedule with no less than three title fights – something unprecedented in the Zuffa era at the biggest MMA event on the planet. The commentator's projection was headed by the unification of the featherweight belts between José Aldo e Conor McGregor, co-led by the trilogy between the champion Ronda Rousey and the challenger Miesha Tate and still had the long-awaited meeting between TJ Dillashaw and the former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.
As if that wasn't enough, Florian also completed the main card with the middleweight title eliminator between the Brazilian Ronaldo Jacare and the Cuban Yoel romero and the duel between the former heavyweight champion Junior Gypsy and the Dutch alistair overeem.
Florian's projections, however, were assumed as a fait accompli by the heavyweight alistair overeem, who published the image on his official profile on Twitter and “celebrated” the chance to finally face Cigano. Soon after, the fighter was alerted by his followers that the image was just a simulation, which although it was presented on an official Ultimate program, was not confirmed by the organization.
UFC 194 takes place on December 5th and there is still no defined place for it to take place. The expectation is that Ultimate will finally promote its first card in a stadium in the United States and take the event to the Cowboys stadium, stadium of the Dallas Cowboys (of the NFL, professional American football league).
