Who won the UFC 200 main event against Miesha Tate?

The story behind the answer

Amanda Nunes won the UFC 200 main event against Miesha Tate. Nunes defeated Tate by submission via rear-naked choke at 3:16 of the first round on July 9, 2016.

The victory made Nunes the UFC women's bantamweight champion. Tate had entered the bout as champion after submitting Holly Holm at UFC 196, but Nunes immediately overwhelmed her with powerful striking before finishing the fight on the ground.

This result is sometimes mixed up with Nunes's later victory over Ronda Rousey at UFC 207. Rousey was not Tate's opponent at UFC 200; she was a later challenger whom Nunes defeated in just 48 seconds. UFC 200 was also notable as the promotion's first event at T-Mobile Arena and its final card under the Fertitta family's ownership.
