UFC 208 medical suspensions: Dustin Poirier out indefinitely
This past weekend at UFC 208, Germaine de Randamie stepped into the Octagon for her highly anticipated inaugural women’s featherweight title fight against former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm. After a back and forth 5-round scrap, complete with a bit of controversy, De Randamie was crowned the inaugural women’s featherweight champion.
In the co-main event, UFC icon Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva snapped a 2-fight losing streak as he picked up a unanimous decision win over Derek Brunson, moving one step closer to potentially reclaiming the UFC middleweight championship. In addition, Ronaldo Jacare Souza also moved one step closer to capturing the UFC middleweight championship as he defeated Tim Boetsch via submission in the very first round.
