Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt Is The New Main Event Of UFC 200 & Vince McMahon Is Somewhere Smiling

Brock Lesnar vs Mark Hunt was originally scheduled to be the co-main event of UFC 200. The fight was going on second in front of Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier 2 for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship. Reports came in late Wednesday night that Jones has failed a drug test and has been removed from the card.

Here was the original tweet from Ariel Helwani (trusted MMA source):
