Watch UFC 200 Live Online: Start Time, Streaming Video, Full Fight Card For Tate Vs. Nunes Event
Fans can watch UFC 200 live online and see what could be the sport’s rising female star take center stage in an event suddenly filled with controversy.
Miesha Tate will be in the spotlight for her fight against Amanda Nunes for the UFC women’s bantamweight championship. Though Tate has been building a solid resume and a big stature within the MMA world, she still lacks the name recognition of the UFC’s biggest woman star, Ronda Rousey.
Saturday’s main event at UFC 200 could go a long way toward changing that.

In an interview before the bout, Tate said she thinks it’s a good thing for the UFC that there are a number of women who can carry an event.
“We always got criticized for not having enough depth,” she said via CBS Sports). “And I think having the belt change a couple times is the best thing that could have happened. Instead of singling out one female that has to carry the entire sport, we have to disperse and make more stars, which helps legitimize the sport of women’s MMA.”

The action in Saturday’s UFC 200 will start with preliminary bouts at 6:30 p.m. and continue through the main card, which starts at 10 p.m. The action will also be available through streaming video for fans who want to watch UFC 200 live online.
But the biggest story leading up to UFC 200 may be about who is not on the fight card. This week, UFC star Jon Jones was pulled from the lineup after a drug test came back positive. Daniel Cormier, who was scheduled to be Jones’ opponent in the main card at UFC 200, was left hanging until Anderson Silva stepped in to fill out the main bout.
UFC president Dana White said on Friday that he hadn’t talked to Jon Jones yet and wasn’t planning to, but noted that he believed Jones when he said he didn’t knowingly take any banned substance.
White didn’t have much sympathy for Jones, however.
“The guy is a professional. I truly believe — I believe this — I’m not the biggest Jon Jones fan right now, but I truly believe he did take a supplement that had this stuff in it and it wasn’t intentional. I truly believe that,” White said via Fox Sports.
“But at the same time, come on — you’re 28 years old, you’re probably the greatest talent to ever step foot in this sport, call USADA and tell them what supplements you’re taking.”
