Well, main event is off as Jones apparently failed a drug test. Lesnar vs. Hunt is new main event.

^Wow!  He is just killing his career.  They need the Dos Anjos/Alvarez fight on this card now.  They should move that fight from Thursday to Saturday so UFC 200 is still a solid card. This sucks.

And they wanted people to pay for this?

Bellator announced today that headlining Bellator 200, to be held January 1, 2020, in Pyongyang, DPRK (North Korea), will be Jon Jones fighting Wanderlei Silva.

Wow.

Jones is damaging his career. He seems to be a troubled person.

"Mr. White, it's Beijing on the phone for you. Something about they're stopping payment on a check."

lol. I'm sure, somehow, Jones will get a minor punishment once again. He always manages to get away with everything. I hope he gets a full 2 year suspension though.

Cormier is going to fight a new opponent.  Great news to get the card back together.  Cormier is a real champ for accepting a replacement opponent on such short notice.

Fighters that are interested are Mousasi, Derrick Lewis, and others from MW to LHW to HW.

Its a hw opponent probly latifi .....not many options.

Anderson Silva vs. Cormier.  This should be interesting.  I think DC can take this to the ground and possibly win the fight from there but can't count Silva out.

They changed the main event to Tate vs. Nunes since it is a title fight and the DC vs. Silva fight is not.  Going with Tate in the main event.

^Looking forward to seeing Brock return tonight. He is a monster. Hunt can hit like a sledgehammer though so Lesnar will really need to get this fight down quick or else it could end up looking like the Reem fight.

Tate vs Nunes is a joke.

^I thought it wasn't the greatest fight either but was pretty surprised by the outcome. Nunes looked impressive in that fight.

Sounds like Brock may be coming back for at least another fight. JDS wants that fight that never happened. That would be a good one to make.

DC vs. Cormier was not too entertaining. Disappointed in that fight.

Cain took out Browne without much problem at all. He is right back in the title mix.

^^^I hope since it was only a one fight deal Brock isn't held down in the UFC following his tests. Maybe if he doesn't want to wait out the suspension he can fight in Rizin once he is done with his WWE contract.
