The following Tweet shoots down the thought that Edgar vs Aldo 2 was the co-main event for UFC 200, and begins a mountain of speculation as to who it will be in the second fiddle spot:

Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is the lead candidate for a co-main event slot at UFC 200, and if these comments from LowKickMMA are anything to go by, Nate Diaz might have already dropped the bomb:
“I was not doing shit, like yeah he did great going up two weight classes, but I wasn’t doing shit, I was on vacation. Like they plotted me out, they wanted me on some not ready shit, they had it all planned out. I thought about it, I figured it all out since then, they wanted me to lose and then it all blew up in their faces. Nobody gets rematches, and all of a sudden this guy’s getting a rematch? They’re like ‘we need this to happen, everybody wants this to happen.’ I think the whole rematch thing is cool because it’s a big money fight, but it’s fucked up. This guy’s getting babied.”
“Yeah I heard (they were planning on having Conor call out GSP) but I put a big old hole in that shit. What did they think, that I’m some game that they can play? I can’t be fucked with, I been in the game too long. They wanted to have this big old GSP vs. McGregor bullshit, with Georges sat in the front row at UFC 196, I don’t even wanna hear about that shit. Get the fuck outta here with that, What the fuck? I pissed off Conor McGregor, I pissed off GSP, but most of all I pissed off the UFC. Well guess what? LOL motherfuckers. Georges is full of shit, he’s a bully, he was going to fight this little Irish featherweight guy? He would have held him down, that’s a freak show fight man.”
