I am afraid to say that I will have to quick fail the GA nomination on account of numerous failures with the relevant criteria at Wikipedia:GA. In this case of this particular article, I noted several problems which stand in its way of achieving GA status at this time.
The primary issue is that the article does not have any mention of the fights that took place at UFC 200 in the prose. Other than a table listing the results, there is no information of the actual bouts. Some of the prose is messy in that some of it shifts from future tense to past tense, unclear on a few occasions, some words missing from some of the sentences, there are a few instances of informal, non-encyclopedic wording in the article and there is an overusage of bulletpoints, which is discouraged at GAN. The lead is rather short, with two short paragraphs, that do not mention the fights at all, and he references in the lead are only necessary if the information is not sourced in the main text, per WP:LEADCITE. In some of the references, "staff" is mentioned is an author, which is something that is not encouraged to do, there are a few instances of MOS:SEAOFBLUE, and the acronyms of certain organizations should be written out in full on the first instance they are mentioned.
Also, it appears that the nominator has not made any edits to the article and nominated the article at GAN without having consulted its major contributors beforehand. I would advise that the article undergo a major revision by using UFC 94 and UFC 148 as an example how it should be written and presented and then it would be in a better shape for a second nomination at GAN.
