UFC 200: The Ultimate in Failing Upward

Full stop.

Nothing else even comes close. UFC 100, a triple bill centered around the sport’s two biggest stars in title fights and the violent conclusion of a rivalry (or was it?), is the best the promotion has done until now, and it doesn’t even hold a candle.

No one knows whether UFC 200 will break the pay-per-view record 100 set (1,600,000 buys), but on paper, the two aren’t competitive at all—don’t forget, Shannon Gugerty jerked the curtain that night, while a guaranteed barn-burner in Jim Miller vs. Takanori Gomi will do the honors on Saturday.
