UFC 200: Tate vs. Nunes is tonight’s, MMA event being at the T-Mobile Arena on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is the 200th edition of UFC, with the first UFC event, UFC 1, being held on November 12, 1993.
UFC 200 is the first event that the UFC is hosting at T-Mobile Arena, which opened in April 2016. It is taking place during the UFC’s annual International Fight Week and marks the second time the UFC will host three events in consecutive days.
Originally, a welterweight rematch between The Ultimate Fighter 5 winner and former lightweight title challenger Nate Diaz and current Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor was going to be the headline event, as the two previously met earlier in the year at UFC 196. However, on April 19, after McGregor tweeting a supposed retirement, the UFC announced that he was pulled from the event. UFC President Dana White clarified that McGregor’s removal was related to his refusal to come to a press conference that week. McGregor released a statement two days later, claiming he is not retired and that he requested the UFC to allow him to focus more on the fight preparation this time. However, despite this, he was pulled from the UFC 200 Card.
April 27, the UFC officially announced the new headliner as a UFC Light Heavyweight Championship unification rematch between current champion Daniel Cormier and former champion Jon Jones. The two met fought at UFC 182 in January 2015 with Jones defending his title via unanimous decision. Their rematch was originally supposed to take place at UFC 197, but Cormier pulled out three weeks before the event due to injury.
This event is also a huge deal because it is Brock Lesnar’s first UFC fight since a 2011 loss to Alistair Overeem at UFC 141.
On July 7, Jon Jones was pulled from the fight card due to a substance abuse violation, effectively making the Lesnar vs. Hunt fight the main event. Later that night, 41 year old former champion Anderson Silva stepped in to fight Cormier. Even with Silva stepping in, Tate vs. Nunes was still promoted to the main event.
Despite all the wild circumstances leading up to this grand event, it still promises to be one of the best night is UFC history.
