UFC 200 Adds Another Rematch

Don't get your hopes up it isn't the Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz rematch, though the UFC have officially added another compelling rematch to the UFC 200 line-up.

Former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw will look to bounce back after losing his title as he takes on Raphael Assuncao. The pair met back in 2013, where Assuncao narrowly out-pointed Dillashaw in a somewhat controversial decision.

The Brazilian has been on the shelf recovering from a niggling ankle injury, which has halted his momentum as he currently sits on a 7-fight win streak. While the American will have the opportunity to avenge one of his losses.

Dillashaw vs Assuncao is the third rematch slated for UFC 200 along with Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar as well as the main event Daniel Cormier vs Jon Jones. The blockbuster event goes down in the early hours of Sunday 10th July at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV.
