The past couple days have seen some crazy changes to the lineup of arguably the most anticipated UFC event in history, but the dust finally has settled.

On Wednesday, the main event was scrapped and the co-main event moved up. On Thursday, the champ from the original main event got a new opponent so he could stay on the card, and the new main event moved back to the co-feature so the title fight in the No. 3 position could become the headliner. Confused yet?

Of the five fights on tonight’s UFC 200 main card, we have only one unanimous pick from our MMAjunkie editors, writers and radio hosts. That means some of our panel sees the women’s bantamweight title changing hands, some see an ex-champ returning after four and a half years for his first MMA win in six years, and some see an ex-champ beating yet another ex-titleholder to become an interim champion. Again … confused yet?

Let’s simplify things. In the new main event, Miesha Tate (18-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) defends her women’s 135-pound title for the first time when she meets Brazilian Amanda Nunes (12-4 MMA, 5-1 UFC). And the champ is a near-unanimous pick. Nine of our 10 staff members are taking her to defend the title.

In the co-feature, which for 24 hours or so was the headliner after the original Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones main event fell off, Mark Hunt (12-10-1 MMA, 7-4-1 UFC) fights former heavyweight champion and current WWE superstar Brock Lesnar (5-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC). Only three of our 10 pickers believe Lesnar can return after his lengthy MMA absence and register a win.

Light heavyweight champion Cormier (17-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) got a new opponent late Thursday when former middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva (33-7 MMA, 16-3 UFC) stepped in to fight him on 48 hours’ notice. Silva hasn’t won a fight since 2012 – though he’s never lost when moving up to 205 pounds – and Cormier had a full camp. As such, he’s the only unanimous pick on the card.

In an interim featherweight title fight, former champ Jose Aldo (25-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) has a rematch against ex-lightweight titleholder Frankie Edgar (20-4-1 MMA, 14-4-1 UFC). In their first meeting, when Aldo was champion, Edgar lost a unanimous decision in a competitive fight. Now, Aldo is coming off a 13-second KO loss to new champ Conor McGregor, and Edgar hasn’t lost since his first fight with the Brazilian. Seven of our 10 staff members think Edgar walks away with the interim title in a fight that is neck-and-neck with the oddsmakers.

And to open the main card, former heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez (13-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) meets perennial contender Travis Browne (18-3-1 MMA, 9-3-1 UFC). Velasquez, trying to get back on track after losing his title in 2015, is a 3-1 favorite, and nine of our 10 pickers believe he’ll start the UFC 200 pay-per-view portion with his hand raised.

In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Tate, Hunt, Cormier, Edgar and Velasquez are the choices.

UFC 200 takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
