Another known fact is Kimbo's first and last pro MMA fights were both in Texas. His first fight was in Corpus Christi and his final fight at Toyota Center in Houston.

Anyone else not pumped for 200? It's a stacked card, but it feels like its something is missing. Like a great main event. Cormier Jones just has a boring feel to it.
I will watch it. This event is the MMA version of the Super Bowl, NBA All Star Game, or even WrestleMania. There's also two more fight cards before Saturday, the Lightweight Championship fight between Rafael Dos Anjos and Eddie Alvarez on Thursday and then the following day, the Women's Strawweight Title fight on The Ultimate Fighter season finale on Friday. This is a big week for UFC since Conor vs. Aldo last year.
Cormier and Jones beef always seemed staged to me. I just think everyone finds zero excitement in Cormier as a fighter
I feel great about it. If it wasn't for commitments in Houston, I'd be out there. Was there for Aldo McGregor in December and the atmosphere was amazing.
It sucks that the whole main event can get thrown off so close to the show. Jones had one damn job to do until the weekend.

He was caught earlier. Cormier would get his ass kicked. There are very few elite fighters in mma. Jon is one of them.
Damn, Jones. UFC 200 has just been one disaster after another for UFC. Major plan after major plan just keeps falling through.
