Anderson Silva će uistinu stati pred Daniela Cormiera na ovotjednom UFC-u 200, i to u meču bez poluteškaškog pojasa u igri - 7 tjedana nakon operacije odnosno upaljenog žučnog mjehura.

Silva kaže da je u solidnoj formi ali da baš nije trenirao, no nazvao je UFC dva sada nakon presice u kojoj je otkriveno da je Jones pao na doping testu, i čelnicima se svidjela ova ideja. Dana White je nastojao prodati meč tako da se prisjetio sjajnih Andersonovih izleta u polutešku kategoriju, gdje je bio razoran protiv Griffina, Bonnara i Irvina.

Fight card predvode Miesha Tate i Amanda Nunes, ne Lesnar i Hunt, i izgleda ovako:
