Brock Lesnar preached human solidarity and then an openly gay Brazilian woman won a UFC title in the main event, it's Woke MMA Twilight Zone

If you're Ronda Rousey you want to comeback to face that? Nunes was blistering.

Brock Lesnar just beat a Top 10 heavyweight.

Undertaker vs. Mark Hunt is the only logical next match-up.
— Seán Sheehan (@SeanSheehanBA) July 10, 2016
Whatever is next for Lesnar, it's sure been fun having him around again. A no BS, no nonsense guy who is larger than life.

I love how people are accusing Cormier of fighting safe when Anderson did nothing but lockdown and control posture on the bottom.

Getting hit by Mark Hunt is A LOT different than getting hit by the Undertaker. #UFC200

Let's remember that Cormier took a dangerous fight against a middleweight on short notice, something Jon Jones wouldn't do #UFC200

I'm gonna say the mild love handles are a bad sign for Silva.

Hey Bones Jones don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Those were a few snow shovels full of dirt they were throwing over his grave

Taking this fight is a huge risk from a physical standpoint, but man does Anderson Silva ever win big with the public win or lose.
— Todd Martin (@ToddMartinMMA) July 10, 2016
Think we might have overestimated Frankie's growth as a fighter, as well as Aldo's decline. They're both as amazing as ever.

Cain Velasquez, what a violent savage. You can believe Fedor is the best HW ever, but at least he tapped dudes. Cain just does blunt trauma.

Sea Level Yellow Canvas Cain is a force to be reckoned with.

If you have a moment before the card, check out Enrique Marin's opponents on the Sherdog fight finder. This is boxing matchmaking for Sage.

To commemorate UFC's 200th pay-per-view, the entire UFC backstage staff urinated on the octagon floor until it turned piss yellow.

The UFC taking 10 minutes between fights and killing momentum when they don't have to is a pretty good celebration of the UFC.
— Suzanne Davis (@SoozieCuzie) July 9, 2016
My Fight Pass feed is a full minute behind. Saw the Mousasi spoiler on Twitter. Totally impressed my dog by calling Mousasi's KO shot.
— Dann Stupp (@DannStupp) July 9, 2016
How'd you like to see Mousasi across the cage, standing between you and a title shot? Gonna need a couple big wins to shake the spoiler tag.

I asked Dana White why Octagon is yellow. He said it was his idea, gold theme of UFC 200, one time thing.

Surprisingly sparse attendance for start of UFC 200. I would have expected earlier arriving crowd for this one given the depth.
