Personally,the Jose fight seemed to be the only fight when Makarov is shown to actually fight it out with someone.....

A dude that's as old as him is bound to be a stepping stone for the younger ones. Meaning,I believe Makarov and E.N.D will fight,Makarov gets wasted then Natsu goes ape-shit and gets new power-ups...

I just don't see a scrawny dude like Marde fighting somebody like Makarov who prefers to crush the enemy...and even if he does fight him,I don't see him winning at all..

Personally,Makarov fighting and losing would be a great way to hype Marde.....You know before Jellal defeats him xD
