Here's where the UFC 200 lineup stands without Conor McGregor or Nate Diaz

Published Apr. 27, 2016 2:00 p.m. ET

UFC 200 took a blow when it lost the rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz, but it gained much of that heat back when Dana White announced that rival light heavyweights and Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones would take over the marquee spot.

And the main event isn't the only thing to write home about when it comes to UFC 200.

The rest of the card is absolutely stacked from top to bottom, featuring five past or present champions, several bona-fide legends and a few rising stars.

Take a closer look at what's been announced for the card, including the all-new main event.

As far as rivalries go, Jones vs. Cormier sits above the rest. The two top light heavyweights in the world simply don't like either other. During the press tour to promote their original matchup, Jones and Cormier exchanged everything from expletives to punches, spawning one of the greatest rivalries in UFC history. The hate has only grown since. 

Jones enters the matchup coming off a win over Ovince Saint Preux, his first win after a 15-month layoff. In Jones' absence, Cormier topped the ever-dangerous Anthony "Rumble" Johnson for the vacant light heavyweight belt before chopping down Alexander Gustafsson for his first defense.

The rematch comes just in time, as tensions are still high between the former foes. And with Jones now holding the interim light heavyweight belt, title unification is on the line.

Fans are in for a treat at UFC 200. Here's how the rest of the card is stacked:

Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar 2

Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes

Cain Velasquez vs. Travis Browne

Johny Hendricks vs. Kelvin Gastelum

Gegard Mousasi vs. Derek Brunson

Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Lauzon

Sage Northcutt vs. Enrique Marin

Jim Miller vs. Takanori Gomi

Cat Zingano vs. Julianna Pena
