UFC 200 PPV Review
UFC 200 was supposed to be the biggest card in UFC history. But it seems though the card was snake bitten and so many issues derailed and changed plans from day 1. The biggest being the last minute announcement that Jon Jones was flagged for a USADA violation and would be forced to miss the show completely. This threw everything into a tail spin as far as match order and what would be the main event of the biggest show of all time.
It was a great pleasure to be in Vegas live for the show, but like normal, we turn to Dave Meltzer for the play by play analysis.
