The first of these involves the former welterweight champion John hendricks. “Bigg Rigg”, who comes at a time of instability in his career, will face Kelvin Gastelum, in combat in the category up to 77 kg. Hendricks was weight champion in 2014, but lost the title in his first defense, to Robbie Lawler. Afterwards, the American beat Matt Brown and was knocked out by Stephen Thompson in February.
The other fight should put two of the most veteran athletes in the lightweight division face to face. Champion of the first edition of TUF, in 2005, Diego Sanchez must face Joe lauzon at UFC 200. Sanchez is coming off a victory over Jim Miller at the beginning of the month, and Lauzon was surpassed by Evan dunham in December.
UFC 200 will be held at the new T-Mobile Arena gym in Las Vegas (USA), and there is still no fight confirmed. However, the following fights have already been speculated on the card: Conor McGregor x Nate diaz, Cain Velazquez x Travis Browne and Gegard Mousasi x Derek Brunson.
