Abington, PA -- If you like mixed martial arts, you are in for a treat this weekend.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is putting on one of its biggest shows of all time for its bi-centennial show, UFC 200. The fight card will be headlined by a women's bantamweight title bout between champion Miesha "Cupcake" Tate and Amanda Nunes.

While the fight card was originally set to feature a headlining bout between former light heavyweight king Jon "Bones" Jones and current champion Daniel "DC" Cormier, a failed out-of-competition drug test forced Jones to be scratched from the card.

The fight card also features WWE wrestling star and former UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar's return to the cage after a five-year layoff, in addition to former middleweight champion Anderson Silva, who will fight Cormier in a three-round non-championship light heavyweight contest on less than 48-hours notice.

Additionally, the fight card features Bridgewater native and Brockton-born Joe Lauzon, fighting on the early preliminary card. You can view the full fight card here.

The fights will be broadcast on pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. Saturday, costing $60 for high-definition and $50 for standard definition broadcasts.
