The UFC 200 card is slowly coming together.

A welterweight fight between Johny Hendricks and Kelvin Gastelum is in the works for the July 9 card, MMAFighting.com has learned.

Hendricks (17-4) is coming off a first-round TKO loss to Stephen Thompson in March. That loss marked the first time in Hendricks' career that he was finished by an opponent.

Gastelum (11-2) most recently lost to Neil Magny via split decision in November.

UFC 200 is set for the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. While the promotion has yet to officially announce any fights for the landmark event, Conor McGregor vs. Nathan Diaz 2, Cain Velasquez vs. Travis Browne and Gegard Mousasi vs. Derek Brunson are expected to be on the card.

Definate catch weight of I've ever saw one lol.

 

[trident]

Dont think that fight is 200 worthy, both fighters coming off of a loss.

 

[MMAViewer]

I'd bet the house one of em misses weight.

It's symbolic; 200 is the weight they will fight at.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Just make the damn fight at 185 before one of them faints and the fight gets cancelled.

I really wanted Magny vs Hendricks though.

 

[The lord of bones]

UFC 200 is really starting to look underwhelming.

 

[Lavitz]

Kelvin by decision.

 

[DyinHawaiian]

Rooting for Gastelum.

 

[Yung Dilla]

Hope Kelvin pulls it off.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Respect to both fighters for taking this fight 2 weight classes higher.

i hope its at 185

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Jeez, get a main event booked already

 

[Deleted member 502383]

Intriguing match up indeed.

 

[IBeLurkin]

Not the most exciting match up...losing hope for UFC 200. Needs much better fights to make up for the lackluster main event.

 

[Matthew Fedler]

What a lame UFC 200 card so far. Only GSP can save it now.

 

[MaulingMyClown]

I would argue that it will make for a better fight with both coming off a loss.

War Gastelum

 

[ray tango]

Hendricks loses without a real fight camp.
