The UFC is taking over Good Morning America today.
Fans should find out at some stage today who will be headlining UFC 200
now that Conor McGregor versus Nate Diaz has been canned.
UFC president Dana White was expected to make the big reveal at a press conference in Madison Square Garden this evening around 6pm [11pm UK time], but it may now happen sooner.
According to Dave Sholler, UFC director of public relations, the promotion will stage a takeover of the popular
Good Morning America breakfast show.
Fighters such as Frankie Edgar, Miesha Tate and Jose Aldo are expected to feature, as well as White himself.
The announcement has led to speculation that White will reveal which fighters will step in to the old headlining slot once occupied by McGregor-Diaz II.

The smart money would be on Jon Jones to fight Daniel Cormier in a UFC light heavyweight title encounter.
Jones came through his UFC 197 headliner unscathed while Cormier is expected to have been cleared for a resumption of training after a recent injury.

Good Morning America airs between 6am and 8am [11am and 1pm UK time], so we may learn UFC 200's fate by then.
And for those curious,
GMA is not hosted by a Tim or a Suzie. The current line-up is Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Lara Spencer, Amy Robach and Ginger Zee.
