Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) biggest pay-per-view (PPV) event is set for Saturday, July 9th at the Las Vegas T-Mobile Arena.
UFC will be hosting it’s biggest PPV event since UFC 100 in 2009. There has been a lot of speculation on whether or not Featherweight champion Conor McGregor will be fighting on the UFC 200 card, but the UFC has moved on from the McGregor drama and assigned a new fight card headliner: Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones 2.
UFC has also revealed the return of former Heavyweight champion, and current WWE superstar, Brock Lesnar, who will fight in the octagon with Mark Hunt in the co-main event. Grappler vs. Striker is a classic fight that everyone loves to watch!
After UFC 200, Lesnar is expected to resume his WWE career full time, because he is slated to headline SummerSlam 2016 in New York
UFC 200 is a star-studded PPV event. The new bantamweight champion Miesha Tate will be defending the belt for the first time against top contender Amanda Nunes.
Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar will fight for the right to hold the interim featherweight title and to be the number one contender for the featherweight title fight against McGregor. Although McGregor is no longer on the UFC 200 fight card, he is scheduled for a rematch against Nate Diaz at UFC 202.
