UFC 200, held July 9, 2016, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, was significantly altered just days before the event. Jon Jones was removed from his scheduled fight due to a potential doping violation. Daniel Cormier remained willing to fight if a suitable opponent emerged. Former champion Anderson Silva stepped in to replace Jones, facing Cormier in a non-title fight. Consequently, the previously scheduled women's bantamweight championship bout between champion Miesha Tate and challenger Amanda Nunes became the new main event.
