Ultimate Fighting Championship MCMVII: The Bells of Saint Preux CXCVII is 197, not MCMVII (1907). That confused the crap out of me for awhile, thought it was a parody post until I decided to google some of the fights. Corrected. It's been a while since I've used Roman numerals.

One side of me wants Cyborg to lose because it'd be funny but the other side wants me to see her win so Ronda can kick her butt

The part RIGHT at the end of the video. As a wrestling fan I'm worried and excited.

Who does he fight though? It has to be someone credible if this is only a one-off deal as some are saying it is.
There is a certain former pro-wrestler who hasn't made his debut yet but they are not in the same weight division, are they? If they did match them up, I think the internet might implode.

Punk is listed as 185, which is the upper limit for Middleweight. Brock is...Brock. That said, the first guy CP Munk will fight is named Mickey Gall. They were supposed to fight a while back, but Punk got a herniated disk in his back. My first guess was Overeeem, but he is fighting at 203 against Miocic, so that's not going to happen. There is still a month before the fight, so there is sufficient time to hype. EDIT: MMAJunkie says opponent to be announced on Sportscenter today: Link

He would DESTROY Punk, would not even be close or fair. I expect Shane Carwin but it's kinda a meh fight. I'd LOVE Mir vs Lesnar 3 even though I know they are both past there prime just to finish the trilogy.

Brock Lesnar will face #8 Ranked Heavyweight Mark Hunt at UFC 200, Brock is going to destroy him Two possibilities to this fight: Hunt by second round TKO, or Hunt gets a crapton of money slipped under the table by Dana to not knock him out and it goes to a decision. Probably the latter

Mark Hunt's got 9 KO's to his name; his last five wins all by KO/TKO. Granted, he's 42, but the man can still knock people the f*** out.
WWE inflates weights; they billed Brock at 285, his last MMA stats were 265 as that's most MMA upper limits for Heavyweights (UFC included). Frank Mir is the same height and just five pounds lighter during that fight. Hunt's age difference is offset by the fact that Brock hasn't fought in five years. Granted, we don't know how a Brock without diverticulitis troubles fights. But we do know for a man that goes by "The Beast," he doesn't like getting hit in the face, which is all Hunt does.

He got hit in the face loads by Shane Carwin and still won. As soon as it goes on the ground Mark is done, and I still think Brock's cardio is better, Hunt looked really gassed in some fights. Also this is Brock we're talking about, he isn't human

And when he went against Cain Velásquez, he became a disco dancer for a night. Mark Hunt is a former K-1 Grand Prix champion. The man, win or loss, has fought some of the best fighting has offered. He is very capable of beating Brock.

Too much backlash to follow through with it. UFC needs to not act like petulant children and actually fix the crap internally that caused the leak and not the fact the leak was reported like leaks are.
EDIT: Former UFC talent Kimbo Slice was reported to have been hospitalized and now some reports have claimed that he's passed away from heart failure. Various people who have relationships (such as his training partner and camp American Top Team) with him have also noted of his passing.

Jon Jones failed a drug test and has been pulled from UFC 200. Lesnar vs. Hunt is the new main event.
