    I think Dana White should desperately make the two heavyweight matchups into a 4-man tournament. The Lesnar-Hunt winner will fight the Velasquez-Browne winner on the same night and fight card. Hopefully, a possible Lesnar-Velasquez rematch in the main event.

    Not having McGregor or Bones on the card is a HUGE blow.

    Thankfully, the entire card is stacked and Lesnar is close to on par w/ bones and mcgregor in terms of drawing power, but this was supposed to be the greatest card of all time.

    Nah, the test Jones failed was on June 16. Brock was announced on the 4th.

    Looks like Anderson Silva is going to step in for Jones... interesting.

    I saw this rumor as well. Also herd that the plan is for DC to still fight but may not be a title fight.

    Lmao that was an epic interview by BB, repping for H-Town. Think he deserved to win, but Nelson definitely should've won on points. He had a pretty solid gameplan.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Daniel Cormier vs. Anderson Silva will be added to UFC 200. 3 round, light heavyweight fight.

    This is a complete mismatch, but I guess the hype will be exciting for fans

    No human being should be able to withstand a shot like this. Legendary indeed.
