UFC 200 takes place Saturday, July 9 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and features one of the most loaded cards in mixed martial arts history.
The show starts off at 6:30 PM EST on UFC Fight Pass, and features crowd pleasers Takanori Gomi (35-11-0, 1 NC) taking on Jim Milller (25-8), Diego Sanchez (28-8) facing Joe Lauzon (24-12), as well as a high-caliber middleweight bout between Gegard Mousasi (38-6-2) and his late-replacement opponent Thiago Santos (13-3).
A prelim card that would pass as a PPV undercard on it's own starts at 8 PM EST on Fox Sports 1. Two former UFC Champions will fight on this portion of the card, as #1-ranked Bantamweight TJ Dillashsaw (12-3) faces the returning Raphael Assuncao (23-4) after missing nearly two years of action. Former Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks (17-4) also looks to get back on the right track by facing Kelvin Gastelum (12-2), and UFC phenom Sage Northcutt (7-1) will try to bounce back from his first loss by taking on Enrique Marin (9-3). The prelims are headlined by Cat Zingano (9-1) returning for the first time since her quick loss to Ronda Rousey at UFC 184 to take on the surging Julianna Pena (8-2).
Then, arguably the greatest main card in mixed martial arts history goes down at 10 PM EST on pay-per-view. Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez (13-2) will face the controversial Travis Browne (18-3-1) to kick off the show. The rest of the card is made up of championship fights and marquee matchups, as Jose Aldo (25-2) will face Frankie Edgar (19-4-1) for the interim Feathwerweight Championship, with the winner hoping to face Conor McGregor. Women's Bantamweight Champion Miesha Tate (18-5) defends her title in the main event against a high-risk opponent in Amanda Nunes (12-4) ahead of potential big-money rematches with Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey, as she wasn't interested in waiting around. WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar (5-3) makes his return after four and a half years to square off with heavy handed Mark Hunt (12-10-1), and the show is also bolstered by a last-minute bout between UFC Light Heavyweight Champion (17-1) Daniel Cormier and all-time great Anderson Silva, after Jon Jones was pulled from the card for a potential USADA violation.
