UFC 200 on Saturday, July 9 is poised to be a landmark fight card in several different ways.
With three titles on the line, the return of Brock Lesnar and another monster pay-per-view buyrate expected, the UFC’s bicentennial may end up going down in company history right alongside its gala predecessor, UFC 100.
There’s no telling yet where exactly it will fall among the greatest events of all time, but if UFC 200 is meant as a celebration of the 23 years since MMA landed on American shores in 1993, it seems apt. From Royce Gracie winning UFC 1 to Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier headlining UFC 200, the evolution has been staggering.
There have been innumerable memorable moments along the way. Here, seven members of the Bleacher Report MMA staff set out to determine and rank the 200 biggest, best, wildest and wackiest happenings in UFC history.
It was mission: impossible, but in the end we hope the list is a fun one—and remember it’s here for entertainment purposes only.
