Prep for your 2026 Fantasy Football draft with free, unlimited drafts, and real-time grades.

UPDATE (7/7): Former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva has been added to UFC 200 as a late replacement for Jon Jones in his fight against Daniel "DC" Cormier. Check out how the writers see it playing out below.

Even without the light heavyweight championship, UFC 200 contains two title fights, and much intrigue brought by the return of Lesnar from the WWE. To celebrate the occasion, our writers got together to offer up their picks for the card, as well as the two title fights set to go down Thursday and Friday.If you're looking for fantasy-specific breakdowns of the fights, please click here for Jon Litterine's breakdown of UFC 200.
