Today, July 9, 2016, UFC will present UFC 200: Tate vs. Nunes, only through pay-per-view. The event will take place in the T-Mobile Arena located in Las Vegas, Nevada. For those who are unable to attend the fight live, once again it is a pay-per-view, and will cost an average of $50 in standard definition, $10 more for high-definition.

Fortunately, those who cannot afford the pay-per-view are given some luxuries at a smaller price. First, the early preliminary card can be viewed through the UFC Fight Pass, while the main preliminary card can be viewed through Fox Sports 1. Take note that the UFC 200 main card is when the two championship fights, Miesha Tate versus Amanda Nunes for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship and José Aldo versus Frankie Edgar for the interim UFC Featherweight Championship, will take place. It is also during the main card fans will get to see Brock Lesnar return to MMA action against Mark Hunt.

Until the event airs, here are some past articles from the Inquisitr that assist in the build-up for this fight.

Pertaining to the matches on the main card, this will officially be Miesha Tate’s first title defense. We will have to see if she can push longevity just like Ronda Rousey did or if she’ll be a “fluke” like Holly Holm. Brock Lesnar versus Mark Hunt is simply a fight for the fans. Daniel Cormier versus Anderson Silva may not be as good as a fight given the fact Silva only has two days to prepare. Though José Aldo versus Frankie Edgar is expected to be entertaining, there should be no need for an interim title. Instead, McGregor should be defending his title. Finally, Cain Velasquez versus Travis Browne is most-likely a number one contender’s match in which the winner will take on Stipe Miocic for the UFC Heavyweight Championship.

The results of the main fight card will be shown below as they become available. This is a live-updating article, so for those who are unable to watch the pay-per-view, you can use this article as a means to find out the latest results. Please note that due to online limitations, only the overall result shall be posted live with a fight synopsis detailed after the pay-per-view. Since preliminary matches are fairly easy to watch — either on UFC Fight Pass or television — they will not be included.

Main Card (Pay-Per-View – 10 p.m./7 p.m. ET/PT)

Cain Velasquez vs. Travis “Hapa” Browne – Velasquez (USA) is 13-2-0 and ranked No. 2. Browne is 18-3-1 and ranked No. 7. They are fighting in the Heavyweight Division.

  • RESULTS: Cain Velasquez defeats Travis Browne via TKO, 4:57 in the first round.
  • SYNOPSIS: Once the bell rings, both Cain Velasquez and Travis Browne sized each other up, getting a feel for each other. Both fighters cautiously throw punches, but it was a surprise wheel kick Velasquez threw that got Browne. Reeling from the kick, Browne backed himself to the Octagon fence in which Velasquez followed-up with a flurry. Eventually, the fight went to the ground in which Velasquez peppered Browne. At one time, Velasquez attempted a rear-naked choke (which looked more like a chinlock). Browne was able to get back up, but the fight was taken back to the floor yet again after Velasquez connected with another flurry. Eventually, Velasquez had Browne’s back continuing to lay in the ground and pound. With just seconds left in the round, the referee stopped the fight because Browne did a poor job protecting himself. Cain Velasquez wins by TKO.

José Aldo “Junior” vs. Frankie “The Answer” Edgar – Aldo (Brazil) is 25-2-0 and ranked No. 1. Edgar (USA) is 19-4-1 and ranked No. 2. They are fighting in the Featherweight Division for the interim UFC Featherweight Championship.

  • RESULTS: José Aldo defeats Frankie Edgar via unanimous decision to become the interim UFC Featherweight Champion.
  • SYNOPSIS: If we could describe this fight, it is five rounds of José Aldo tenderizing Frankie Edgar. To be fair, Edgar tried his best with leg kicks and takedown attempts throughout all five rounds, but Aldo’s legs were just too strong and his takedown defense was really good. Starting with the first round, both fighters sized each other up, being cautious with each other. Aldo however connects with numerous jabs, something he will do throughout all five rounds, and even smashed Edgar with numerous knees. In the third round, Edgar tries to take on Aldo in the clinch against the cage wall twice, but his payoff is very little. Also, he is starting to bleed. In the fourth round, Edgar is getting desperate as he tries to do more flurries. Still, Aldo was able to trade as much blows in said flurry. In the final round, all Aldo had to do was coast. It was evidently clear Aldo won the fight by unanimous decision as proven by the boos from the crowd.

Daniel “DC” Cormier vs. “The Spider” Anderson Silva – Cormier (USA) is 17-1-0 and the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. Silva (Brazil) is 33-7-0 and ranked No. 5. They are fighting in the Light Heavyweight Division in a non-title fight.

  • RESULTS: Daniel Cormier defeats Anderson Silva via unanimous decision.
  • SYNOPSIS: Given the fact that Anderson Silva took the fight with just two-days notice, it was apparent Daniel Cormier would stick to his bread and butter: wrestling. As a matter of fact, all three rounds were heavily fought on the ground after Cormier took down Silva three times, once per round. Cormier would spend most of his groundwork making himself heavy while peppering Silva. Silva on the other hand tried to spice up the fights as best as he could with his fancy kicks and jives, but he is fighting a man who prepared himself for a five-round fight. In the end, Daniel Cormier wins his fight via unanimous decision.

Brock Lesnar vs. “Super Samoan” Mark Hunt – Lesnar (USA) is 5-3-0. Hunt (New Zealand) is 12-10-0 and ranked No. 8. They are fighting in the Heavyweight Divison.

  • RESULTS: Brock Lesnar defeats Mark Hunt via Unanimous Decision.
  • SYNOPSIS: If there is one guaranteed way Brock Lesnar, who is going into the fight as an underdog, would defeat Mark Hunt, it would be by depending on his wrestling. Fortunately for Lesnar, that is what he did in the first and third rounds. During those rounds, Lesnar spent most of his time in control of the ground game in which he was able to pepper Hunt with punches. Hunt, being very thick-skinned like almost all Samoans are, was able to absorb a lot of damage. Still, Hunt had very little to answer back whenever he was taken down. The only round Hunt stood his own was in the second round with numerous takedown defenses along with dodging Lesnar’s punches. Still, it was not enough as Lesnar won the fight via Unanimous Decision.

Miesha “Cupcake” Tate vs.”The Lioness” Amanda Nunes – Tate (USA) is 18-5-0 and the current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion. Nunes (Brazil) is 12-4-0 and ranked No. 4. They are fighting in the Women’s Bantamweight Division for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship.

  • RESULTS: Amanda Nunes defeats Miesha Tate via Submission, 3:16 into the first round with a Rear-Naked Choke to become the new UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion.
  • SYNOPSIS: This was a fast fight. In the beginning, Miesha Tate and Amanda Nunes sized each other up but Nunes was able to hit Tate hard enough to make her stagger and spew blood. Eventually, Nunes was able to lock in a rear-naked choke to earn the submission victory, 3:16 into the round. This also makes Nunes the new UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion. On a sidenote, that title is passing around like a hot potato.
