Daniel Cormier vs. Anderson Silva: Actual Start Time, Betting Odds, PPV Info, Prediction For UFC 200 Fight

It was supposed to be the perfect main event Dana White originally envisioned for UFC 200, but light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier's impromptu square off with the legendary Anderson Silva still has all the fixings of a major mixed martial arts showdown. Originally, Cormier was to rematch Jon Jones in a unification bout Saturday night at Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena. However, earlier this week it was revealed Jones failed a drug test and was pulled from the main event in lieu of an investigation into whether or not he used performance enhancing drugs. Silva, who last fought in February but hasn't claimed a victory since 2012, stepped up and essentially saved what was intended to be UFC's biggest PPV event since 100th edition seven years ago. Still, the bout was bumped down two slots with women's bantam weight champion Miesha Tate's face off with challenger Amanda Nunes leapfrogging, and Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt's battle standing as the main event.
