The UFC wasn’t kidding when they said that they would be heavily marketing UFC 200 and spend nearly $10 million in marketing. The kickoff for the media tours for fighters participating in UFC 200 have now taken place.
The UFC tweeted this morning that Frankie Edgar and Jose Aldo are doing radio appearances in New York City.

It is most likely that Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz would have been participating in these media appearances as well, but McGregor’s refusal to do so eliminated him from the entire card itself. Dana White has been adamant about the Irishman not being on the card and says that he should fight shortly after UFC 200.
