With more than 500 athletes under contract, the UFC stages roughly 40 events per year and is broadcast in more than 150 countries, reaching 1.1 billion television households. Lesnar leaped in with a wild right and ducked under a Hunt haymaker on his way out.

Speaking ahead of UFC 200, which sees Mark Hunt and Brock Lesnar square off in the co-main event, Wright remains committed to bringing the organisation back to the city of Hunt’s birth.
Excited to attend UFC 200 Saturday night and experience UFC’s biggest event ever and to see former WWE Champ Brock Lesnar’s long awaited return to the octagon.
The result of Jones’ B sample was also declared positive on Friday local time by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
After the bout, Lesnar said “it took a little while to get acclimated”. Nunes landed a blow early that left Tate wobbly and ultimately got her knocked out.
The UFC’s top-ranked pound-for-pound fighter, Jon Jones, was pulled from the card after the 28-year-old tested positive for a banned substance.
This fight is truly a fascinating one as Edgar is now on a hot streak and Aldo is still recovering from his devastating 13-second KO loss to McGregor at UFC 194. It went downhill after that. “Anderson said he will fight Cormier”, Soares texted, with Silva at his South Bay home.
In 18 MMA fights, Cormier lost only once – to Jones in 2015 – and he’s coming off wins against top light heavyweight contenders Alexander Gustafsson and Anthony Johnson.
White also showed us that by promoting the women in more-or-less the same way he promoted the men (putting women fighters on the same cards as men, not trying to rebrand for the women’s sport) people would treat the fights the same, and get just as excited.
Let’s not forget that Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar was the second fight on the pay-per-view and these two battled it out for the UFC interim featherweight strap.
The former divisional champion was spectacularly defeated by McGregor at UFC 194 – his first loss in over 10 years.
As for The Beast’s future career path, he wasn’t giving anything away. With Paul Heyman at his side, they can use the win in UFC to build up the SummerSlam match into a massive war.
Aldo and Edgar are ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in the UFC’s 145-pound featherweight division.
If someone told you, four months ago, that Miesha Tate and Amanda Nunes would be the main event of UFC 200, you would have had serious doubts about their state of mind. Miller, who fought in the preliminary fights, beat Mac Danzig at UFC 100 and Takanori Gomi last night at UFC 200.
The women’s bantamweight tile has now changed hands three times in the last 238 days after Rousey held it through six title defenses over 1,074 days from December 2012 to November 2015. There was never a point after the first big shot that Lauzon landed where Sanchez was in the fight.

Holm still has some momentum, although a rematch with Tate might be in order for her. Then, there’s the looming specter of Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino. Not only is she a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, she’s a knockout machine.
