UFC 200: Tate vs Nunes, VIP Ticket
BROCK LESNAR'S FINAL UFC FIGHT
It was the final UFC event under the ownership of Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, which began in January 2001. Zuffa subsequently announced its sale to a group led by WME-IMG. The event was the first that the organization has hosted at T-Mobile Arena, which opened in April 2016. It took place during the UFC's annual International Fight Week and marked the second time the UFC hosted three events in consecutive days. Lesnar faced the 2001 K-1 World Grand Prix winner and former interim title contender Mark Hunt. Due to Jones' removal from the card, this bout was briefly promoted as the new main event. However, after the Tate-Nunes bout was announced as the new headliner, Lesnar-Hunt was once again confirmed as the co-main event. Lesnar also headlined UFC 100 and with Jones' absence, he and Jim Miller remained as the only two fighters to compete at both milestone events. After an extensive feeling-out period, the former NCAA wrestling champion, Lesnar took down Hunt. Although the Samoan initially made it back to the fence, Lesnar dragged him to the mat, where he dominated from top position. Lesnar would win the fight. Lesnar failed two tests for performance-enhancing drugs, one before his fight with Hunt and another on the day of their bout. The Nevada State Athletic Commission overturned the decision after Lesnar's positive test and issued him a one-year ban from mixed martial arts. The fight was also changed to a No contest. Lesnar would never enter the octagon again.
