Best card I've ever seen assembled in MMA. Rohypnol wouldn't put me to sleep right now.

I went to bed at 7.30 to try get a couple of hours sleep. Probably got 20 minutes in total if I was lucky.

What a night to be alive! Epic!

That's the way to do it. I start the beer around 12 too. I'm currently sampling a cocktail I'll make just before the main card starts to wake everyone up.

Bourbon on ice, a shot of espresso on top and a shot of coffee liqueur. Delicious!

Started at 5. Don't plan on finishing til 6.

Get it together lads and coffee load.

What a card to celebrate the @ufc 23rd birthday! Looking forward to sitting down in a few days time and watching all the fights. Tonight I'll be too busy to enjoy them! I'm predicting McGregor, Thompson, Kowalkiewicz, Romero, Johnson, Tate, Edgar. Who you got?

Why do I have to have something planned? I don't particularly like wasting a day.

Coffee, ha. Drink, on it since 5 just did another run to get some more just in case.

Great start to this sporting day with the footie results. Roll on to a great card.

These big cards that are stacked like UFC200 have such high expectations from everyone your usually let down, Hope its not the case tonight hopefully we get at least 1 war from the 3 title fights.

And that's your choice, but most here wont feel their Sunday wasted after spending the first 6 hours of it watching the best MMA card this year. Each to their own and all that..

I thought the same earlier. So fingers crossed it's not a "flat" card.

Any chance things happening a little earlier after the couple of cancelled bouts.

To my mind, this remains one of the best promos the UFC have made in 2016 and possibly in the past few years. The image of Conor McGregor, hand raised fading into the Statue of Liberty is a pure goosebumps moment.

I'm well aware of my choice thanks and I never criticised anyone who is staying up to watch it, fair play to them.

Hopefully not but with a card that literally is stacked from the very first prelim fight, there has to be at least one or two great fights.

Aren't the fight pass prelims on now?
