I do agree, the card was kind of slow. In Lesnar's defense, a wrestler will lay on top of a striker 7 days of the week. That is like every wrestler vs striker fight. Def makes for a rather unexciting fight though.

He did for a second but took damage and thought better of it.

Silva landed a nice kick to the liver that definiately hurt Cormier at the end of the third round, but he didn't even do much when he was laying on Silva. Atleast Lesnar went to town on Hunt a few times with some hard ground and pound. Cormier just laid about. Ref even stood them up a couple occasions since nothing was happening.

I thought Brock did great considering he was out for 5 years. Why stand with Mark Hunt and risk getting knocked out when you can take him down.

And he gets flagged for PED use. I believe the outcome of the match would still be the same, but I'm anxious to see what the result of the investigation would be and what it would mean for the UFC's reputation and what they are going to do about it now that they are trying to clean up the sport.

If you take PED's it shows you can't compete on a level playing field...Brock's a cheat and the match should be overturned to a no contest...that makes UFC 200 a fail in my eyes with Jones and Lesnar the 2 main attractions getting caught.

I think the UFC should compensate Mark Hunt asap. Brock's July 9th test also came in positive for the same substance, so he knew he was breaking the rules/cheating but still went in there to get paid a whopping 2.5 million dollars and hope to God to get away with it.
I also think Dana White knew that Brock was going to fail the test but he still let him fight on to save 200. And if he really had knowledge about him juicing then, all that stuff he talked about cleaning up the sport is a load of bs to me now.

I wouldn't be surprised. Dana White doesn't strike me as a man that would put fair play over profit...

I think that reflects negatively for UFC as well as the WWE. But like Nate Diaz said "EVERYONE is on steroids".

And it's true. Everyone.
