If it was for the actual title I would totally do it 

UFC 196 on Feb 6 was headlined by a UFC heavyweight title fight between champion Fabricio Werdum vs. former champion Cain Velasquez. Then Velasquez got hurt, and was replaced with Stipe Miocic, for the title. Then Werdum got hurt.

Its a long shot, but what about former UFC light heavyweight Jon Jones vs. Miocic for the title. Jones is currently huge.

Jones is currently in training for a rematch with light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier. But UFC 196 takes place in less than two weeks, and it is on SuperBowl weekend, one of the biggest fight weekends of the year. 

So something big has to happen. Jones vs. Miocic would be big.
