Saturday July 9 UFC returns to pay per view with their milestone event UFC 200 with Jon Jones facing off with Daniel Cormier for the UFC Light Heavyweight championship. Also on the card you have Miesha “Cupcake” Tate facing off with “The Lioness” Amanda Nunes in a woman’s bantamweight fight for the UFC Women's bantamweight championship. Also on the card you have Frankie “The Answer” Edgar facing off with Jose “Junior” Aldo for the interim featherweight championship, you also have Cain Velasquez facing off against Travis “Hapa” Browne. Then you have the fight that have been sparked a lot of Social Media attention, when Mark Hunt faces off with “the Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar, this fight will be the first fight since Brock’s battle with Diverticulitis, so the questions loom there, could brock be rusty coming into this fight or will he show the world that he hasn’t lost his touch when it comes to the octagon.
“Alpha” Cat Zingano battles against Julianna “The Venezuelan Vixen” Pena this fight will be one of the showcase fights on Fox Sports one for the prelims of UFC 200, you also have Kevin Gastelum facing off against “Bigg Rigg” Johny Hendricks. Raphael Assuncao is looking to shock the world by possibly defeating the number one ranked fighter for the UFC Bantamweight championship. The opening bout of the prelims on Fox Sports one will have Enrique “Wasabi” Marin facing off against “Super” Sage Northcutt.
This card is stacked from top to bottom with talent, The fight that most people want to see is Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt. The reason being is that Brock was forced due to Diverticulitis, Brock wanted to step into the Octagon one more time so he can end UFC on his terms not Medical terms like his first run with the company did. But the main question is could brock get the UFC bug again so he could try and structure his contract to allow him to do more UFC fights while still wrestling for WWE. Could Mark Hunt make this fight his swan song if you would like to call it that in UFC by defeating Brock Lesnar, Social Media has been in an uproar about this fight. Travis Barker the former drummer from the band Blink 182 has went on to say he would get TMZ tattoo on his body if Brock Lesnar defeated Mark Hunt. Well I think Travis Barker needs to get ready to go to the tattoo parlor because I believe that Mark Hunt is going to be defeated by Brock Lesnar.
Daniel Cormier vs Jon “Bones” Jones is another fight that fans are dying to see because this is a heated rivalry between these fighters, could Jon Jones capture his Light Heavyweight Championship one more time or will Daniel be able to stop Bones from trying to capture the championship. I think Daniel will remain Champion after UFC 200 is over.
The women's bantamweight championship match is going to be the one to watch, could Amanda pull off an upset by winning the championship, Amanda could do the same thing that Meisha did when Holly Holm after Holly defeated Ronda Rousey. But I think “Cupcake” will defeat “The Lioness” to retain her championship to set up Miesha vs Rousey 3, that would make much more money for the feud with the title on the line compared to previous fights between the two fighters.
This card is going to be fun to watch, I can’t wait for Saturday Night to watch UFC 200. Who do you think is going to win at UFC 200? Follow me on twitter at @WarriorMW23 tell me who do you think is going to come out on top.
