  • July 9, 2016

UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 was a highly anticipated pay-per-view event in the world of mixed martial arts. The main event featured longtime rivals Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones facing off for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. This fight was a rematch of their 2015 bout, which saw Jones emerge victorious, but with a cloud over his win due to a failed drug test.

In addition to the Cormier vs. Jones 2 fight, the event had a stacked card with several other highly anticipated matchups. The co-main event featured a heavyweight clash between UFC legend Brock Lesnar, who was returning to the Octagon after a five-year hiatus, and Mark Hunt. Also on the card was a women's bantamweight title fight between champion Miesha Tate and challenger Amanda Nunes.

The buildup to UFC 200 was filled with drama, as Jon Jones was initially pulled from the event after testing positive for a banned substance. This led to a last-minute replacement fight for Cormier against Anderson Silva, which the champion ultimately won by unanimous decision. However, just days before the event, it was announced that Jones had been cleared to fight after testing positive for a different, non-performance enhancing drug.

Despite the controversy leading up to the event, UFC 200 delivered an unforgettable night of fights. In the main event, Cormier and Jones went back and forth in a highly competitive fight. Jones ultimately emerged victorious by unanimous decision, regaining the title that he never lost in the Octagon.

Brock Lesnar showed that he still had the power and athleticism that made him a force to be reckoned with in his prime, as he dominated Mark Hunt en route to a unanimous decision victory.

In the women's bantamweight title fight, Amanda Nunes shocked the MMA world by defeating Miesha Tate in dominant fashion, stopping the champion in the first round via submission.

UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 also featured several other exciting fights, including a featherweight bout between Jose Aldo and Frankie Edgar, a heavyweight clash between Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne, and a women's strawweight fight between Claudia Gadelha and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

Overall, UFC 200: Cormier vs. Jones 2 was an unforgettable night of fights that showcased some of the best talent in the sport. Despite the drama leading up to the event, the fights delivered in a big way, providing fans with plenty of memorable moments and highlight-reel finishes.
