UFC 209 didn’t quite provide the fireworks expected, but it came through with a number of compelling bouts.
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson didn’t get to make the walk to the cage, and the welterweight title fight underwhelmed. Still, the undercard came through.
Darren Elkins and Iuri Alcantara both had phenomenal comeback victories, Alistair Overeem put Mark Hunt to sleep, and the new lightweight co-main event sparked the crowd with a back-and-forth battle. Following all the action there’s a lot of questions left to answer.
Who’s next for Tyron Woodley and the welterweight gold? Where does Overeem go from here? What about the losers?
Let’s jump right into it and start picking fights for the winners and losers of UFC 209.
