UFC 200: Tate vs. Nunes Discussion Thread

The fighters are weighed in and we're set (for real this time) for what should be an epic night of fights. 

The weigh-ins weren't without their drama. Johny Hendricks missed weight by .25 lbs and will forfeit 20% of his purse to Kelvin Gastelum and Miesha Tate weighed in at literally the last possible minute, 9:59am local time. If she had arrived 60 seconds later, she would have been removed from the card. 

Anyway, the action kicks off on UFC Fight Pass at 630pm ET before switching to FS1 at 8pm. The PPV main card kicks off at 10pm. 

Enjoy!

Dana just said on FS1 that Bisping's first defense will be against Hendo. Perhaps in Manchester.

Wow. Thats crazy! my first ever event win was on the biggest card of all time. It is a real honor.I just wish Edgar would have won lol to get a black beauty at the same time.

If UFC 189, 194 and 196 are 10's, I'd grade UFC 200 a 7. 

It had some solid fights, but not many of them were competitive outside of Aldo-Edgar. Most were one-sided. Not a lot of drama. No swings in momentum. 

A workmanlike card. Wanted more. 

Honestly, out of the 6 UFC PPVs this year, I'd place it fifth in front of UFC 197. That just shows how spoiled we've been.

i wish i had found this site years ago!

Welcome, my son.

Joe Lauzon tie Nate Diaz for most bonuses.

My thoughts on tonight. 
Velasquez and Aldo just earned UFC black belts. 

Silva would have beaten Cormier in title fight with a fifth round triangle. 

Lesnar just cemented himself as the GOAT. Okay maybe not, but he's definitely now the greatest Canadian fighter of all time.

Tate needs to get a new hypnothe******.

Greatest ppv since 199.

@ShakeANDBake, black beauty = all perfect card, fights, rounds AND methods, so even if Edgar won, no black beauty ;)

Still, great job picking the card, mate!

Dan Henderson's getting a UFC title shot in 2016? What the f-- I mean I saw this coming. 

Not only will Henderson beat Bisping to win the middleweight title. He will beat Cormier in 2017 to win the light heavyweight title and then go to Bellator to lose both title unification bouts.

Be careful, the way this sport's panning out you're in danger of becoming BestPredictionMan with these. 

Tread lightly, you have a reputation to protect.

Way ahead of you.

I am BestPredictionMan. 

And I am WorstPredictionMan. 

LOL!! This man is a god!!

I'm drunk and Brock still won

Glad Brock won as too many casual fans i talked to thought he would get KOed in the first.

Nice win for Brock, hope to see him fight again this year..

Glad Tate lost, Nunes humbled her big time.. reminded me of Rousey's bad attitude before the fight against Holm and Holm ended up humbling her.

Mousasi had a great knockout on the undercard. whose almost at 40 wins!!

Aldo is back!! Curious to see how Aldo does in a rematch with Mcgregor if he doesnt get knocked out again early.. Think Aldo has edge in a longer fight..

Hey Hunt!

Good pic

great night of fights I enjoyed most of the card.  there were some surprising finishes, but that just made it more fun for me. I think this card should be the last fighet of a few fighters, specially Diego, I had Lauzon winning but never tought he would finish Diego, and the fact that he did speaks of how hurt Diego is, Im seriously worried for some long term damage he most likely has, UFC needs to force retire that guy.
other fighters I would like to see retire are Anderson, which I tought ut on a good performance (maybe even better than DC) specially for a 40+ MW guy fighting the LHW champion on 2 days notice coming from a surgery. he looked happy and I was happy, so lets call it quits he got a nice payday. we saw flashes of his former self. it was a good fight for him. the last guy I would like to see call it quits is DC himself, if he would come out like that against Jones he would've benn finished in the 3rd if not the 2nd. this was a tough weight cut for him and Im not sure he can make it again without risking his health, he is stilla  great fighter imo, but his body is not responding as well as it used to. he has a sweet analyst gig on the UFC so money shouldnt be an issue and he can probably work great as a coach too. DC please retire.  Hendriks, im not sure if he was having an off night or Lawler  stole his soul and broke him. im leaning toward the last one. if thats the case, if this is Hendrinks from now on, he should retire too.

Gastelum looked really good, had great movement, great boxing, he still needs to work on his defense a little more imo.

Brock vs Hunt was some boring ****, just like I thought it would be, I seriously dont get why people get excited with Brock.   I mean I get some people like to watch a big hulk fighting on the cage, but to me he doesnt really bring much, he is a great athlete but has never been a real MMA fighter. I really have no interest of watching him fight anybody.



Cain ******* surprised me with his head kicks, he always've had good legkicks but his headkicks used to be awkward and didn had very fluid movment. but now. dayumn, another weapon to his arsenal, I tought it was a geat fight for him. Browne not so much, I tought he would've put on more resistance.


Misha started to look bad during the weight ins and kept on looking like **** right up till she got KTFO, I dont know if she was sick, under prepared or what, but that was not Misha Tate, having said that props for Amanda, she put on a good fight and took the Belt, ih she keeps working on his cardio she can be a long term  champion imo.

Her against the winer of Holm vs Shevchenko should be an amazing fight.

I enjoyed more than I thought the Aldo vs Edgar fight, I was surprised to see Edgar get tired by the 3rd round, Aldo put on a striking clinic, very smart very fast lots of power, managed his cardio very well to me he showed that he is the better fighter of the two, and he is ready to be the FW champ again, with or without Conor coming back to the 145 div. I hope he does because that would be a fun fight to watch.


Dillashaw, Dillashawed I had no doubt he would beat Raphael, good fight

Northcutt vs Marin was kind of a frustrating fight to watch both of them kind of amateurish at grappling, Sage keeps having some big holes on that department and he was only able to survive because of Marin owns defficency at grappling.  sage... go train bro. move camps or your window is gonna come and go.

Mousassi looks great against not top 5'ers I hope  he can move forward and make a run at the title.


it was a great card and it delivered imo. but I dont know  I think it lacked some wow factor, maybe its just me.
however I had a great time
