LAS VEGAS -- Part spectacle and part celebration, the sport of mixed martial arts once again took center stage in the sporting world on Saturday with UFC 200.After the biggest and arguably deepest card in UFC history, the logical question is simple: Whats next?Heres a look at what the near future could (and in some cases should) bring for the 10 biggest winners of the event, including Amanda Nunes, Brock Lesnar and Daniel Cormier.Amanda Nunes: In the revolving door that is the UFCs title picture at womens bantamweight, Nunes made quite an emphatic statement by the ease with which she lifted Miesha Tates title. With the 135-pound belt having now changed hands three times in the past nine months, the division is as wide open as ever. The good news for Nunes is that shes in a prime position for an immediate and marketable title defense. Former champion Holly Holm, who lost her title to Tate in their March thriller, likely makes the most sense, should she get past Valentina Shevchenko on July 23. But dont count out the return of Ronda Rousey. UFC president Dana White told SportsCenter late Saturday that he feels Rousey will be back by the end of this year or early next year. If the UFC can convince Rousey to return by November, there wouldnt be a better venue for her than the promotions long-awaited debut at Madison Square Garden.Brock Lesnar: In his first appearance since 2011, the former UFC heavyweight champion looked fresh in his dominant decision win over Mark Hunt. Lesnars return was deemed a one-off by current employer WWE and The Beast will quickly transition to promoting his Aug. 21 SummerSlam bout against Randy Orton. Its hard to imagine, however, this was the last time we see Lesnar, who turns 39 on Tuesday, inside the Octagon. Yes, no one outside of Lesnar and the McMahon family knows the specifics of his part-time WWE contract. Its also true that his victory over Hunt would be the perfect swan song after Lesnars initial UFC run was compromised by diverticulitis. But take a gander at Lesnars postfight comments and try to convince yourself his competitive nature wont bring him back.I had 12 inches of my colon removed [in 2011] and jumped back into the Octagon three months later. I mean, who does that? Come on, Lesnar said. Ive been gone five years and I stepped into the Octagon tonight with the guy ranked No. 8 in the world [at heavyweight]. You can write what you want to write but I think Im the toughest son of a bitch around and this puts me right in the game. Granted, Ive got some work to do but dont we all. If I want to make that decision and keep fighting, I will.Daniel Cormier: The light heavyweight champion had quite an emotional week after chief rival Jon Jones was pulled from the UFC 200 main event for a doping violation. Cormier then endured three rounds of boos for using his size advantage and wrestling to maul crowd favorite Anderson Silva. With Jones facing a possible two-year suspension from the USADA, Cormier is left without an obvious next opponent. He plans on staying busy and will look to face whoever is next in line, mentioning former title challengers Anthony Johnson and Alexander Gustafsson. The problem is Cormier is fresh off of wins against both fighters in the immediate aftermath of Jones being stripped of the title in 2015.Anderson Silva: As far as moral victories go, Silva seemed to take extra joy in his ability to go the distance with Cormier on two days notice. At 41, the Spider was moving up in weight just two months removed from gall-bladder surgery. Silva showed incredible toughness and endeared himself even further to the adoring crowd by rallying to hurt Cormier with a kick to the body in the final minute of the fight. Considering the money he is still able to command, it doesnt appear Silva is going anywhere. A victory lap of fun fights against vulnerable or equally faded big names would seem most apropos. Silva, however, would prefer a rematch with 37-year-old Michael Bisping, who won a disputed decision over him in February before upsetting middleweight champion Luke Rockhold last month. While Silva is clearly a shadow of his once great self, that shadow can still excite a crowd and give most fighters a difficult challenge.Jose Aldo: A convincing win over Frankie Edgar in their interim featherweight title rematch quieted any fears that Conor McGregor had stolen Aldos aura of invincibility by taking his title in 13 seconds last December. Aldo, who previously went a full decade without losing, was back to being Aldo again on Saturday and spent the majority of his postfight interviews calling out McGregor, who was cageside. A title unification rematch will be a major event for the UFC later this year regardless of the outcome of McGregors big-money rematch at welterweight against Nate Diaz in August.Cain Velasquez: One year removed from losing his heavyweight title in the high elevation of Mexico City, the Velasquez of old made a triumphant return in a one-round dismantling of Travis Browne. Velasquez wants his belt back and his performance only helped fuel those who believe hes still the best heavyweight in the world. Velasquez said he expects to challenge the winner of new champion Stipe Miocics first title defense on Sept. 10 against Alistair Overeem.Julianna Pena: The Venezuelan Vixen took a considerable step forward with her convincing decision win over former title challenger Cat Zingano. Pena is 4-0 since making her UFC debut in 2013 and could become a dark-horse title challenger sooner than later should the unpredictability surrounding the title picture at womens bantamweight continue.TJ Dillashaw: The former bantamweight champion avenged a dubious split-decision loss to Raphael Assuncao from 2013 with a dominant win on Saturday. Dillashaw deserves a second chance at Dominick Cruz, who took his title by debated decision in January, and he deserves it now.Sage Northcutt: The 20-year-old lightweight prospect rebounded from his first defeat in January by outpointing Enrique Marin. But Super Sage was sloppy throughout and was forced to make a pair of dramatic escapes from submission attempts in Round 2. The once-great Northcutt hype train remains parked back in the station. More seasoning against opponents on the level of Marin is needed.Diego Sanchez: Hopefully retirement is next for the all-action Sanchez, who went out on his shield once again in a first-round TKO loss to Joe Lauzon. He may be the most intense fighter the UFC has ever seen and is amazingly just 34 despite leaping onto the scene in the first season of The Ultimate Fighter in 2005. Though Sanchez has provided fans with so many memorable wars, its time to say goodbye. Bob Griese Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Cameron Wake Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Christian-Wilkins-Jersey/ . Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. Christian Wilkins Youth Jersey . Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. Larry Csonka Womens Jersey . The winner Saturday will remain in the elite 10-team field next year. "We talked about wanting to be disciplined and stick with our game plan and good things will come," Draisaitl said, who had two goals for the victors. HONOLULU -- Charging into violent waves at a Maui surf break known as Jaws, a group of women made history Friday as they competed for the first time in the World Surf Leagues big-wave surfing competition.The female competitors paddled into mountains of turquoise water towering more than 30 feet, but the wind shifted at the start of the first heat and several were pummeled by an unexpected breaking wave.Women have pushed for years to be included in big-wave surfing competitions, while organizers of some contests argued that conditions at famous breaks such as Mavericks in California were too dangerous for women.That competition will include women for the first time this season after state regulators said they might refuse to grant a permit if women were not included. And for the World Surf League, which holds professional competitions around the globe, its been a matter of getting enough participants to hold a womens event.Competitor Bianca Valenti, who has pushed for women to be included in professional big-wave surf contests, called the day a big step forward for women in the sport.Its the least we can do to speak to the election the other day, Valenti told The Associated Press in a phone interview before the competition, referring to Hillary Clintons defeat by President-elect Donald Trump.I watched Hillarys concession speech and what she was saying -- how important it was for women to really stand up now more than ever to break the glass ceiling -- and that really resonated a lot, Valenti added.There are 12 women and 24 men competing in separate events at the perillous Hawaii break, where competitors training regimes include building up the ability to hold their breath underwater for four minutes in case they are pinned under by crashing waves.dddddddddddd.Paige Alms, a surfer from Hawaii, had a few humbling wipeouts, but won the competition.I still feel like its kind of a dream, but ah, I cant believe it, Alms told the World Surf League after her win. What a blessing to be out there with just a couple girls. That was special, for sure.Two women were taken to the hospital with knee injuries during Fridays first heat, and Valentis surfboard broke in half during the second heat when she wiped out on a wave.The World Surf League only recently began holding a big-wave competition, spokesman Dave Prodan said. With a small window of time when conditions are right, its hard to accommodate a large group of men and women, he added.Women have for years and years been participating in the big-wave community, but probably only in recent years have you had a jump in participation to the point where you have that depth in the field to hold an event, Prodan said.In California, the renowned big-wave competition Titans of Mavericks agreed to include women for the first time this season, although it has not yet been held.This is really about paving the way for the future generations and creating opportunities for them, Valenti said. Just the importance of using our voice all the time and speaking up for what we want. ' ' '
