Afgelopen weekend vond in de T-Mobile Arena te Las Vegas, Nevada het evenement UFC 216 plaats. Tijdens het Main Event namen Tony Ferguson en Kevin Lee het op voor de UFC Interim Lightweight titel. En tijdens het Co-Main Event ging UFC Flyweight Kampioen Demetrious Johnson op recordjacht tegen Ray Borg. Bij winst kon Johnson de boeken ingaan als Kampioen met de meest opeenvolgende titelverdedigingen aller tijden.

People that don’t train will never understand how impressive that just was. Amazing.
