UFC Fight Night 208: Holly Holm Vs. Germaine de Randamie

This fight could go anyway since the possibilities are just limitless and so it would be a moot point to talk about all the “what ifs” of this match up. Holly Holm ( 10 – 2 ) will take on Germaine de Randamie ( 6 – 3 )  come UFC fight night 208 in the […]

This fight could go anyway since the possibilities are just limitless and so it would be a moot point to talk about all the “what ifs” of this match up. Holly Holm ( 10 – 2 ) will take on Germaine de Randamie ( 6 – 3 )  come UFC fight night 208 in the featherweight division. The purpose that this fight was initially intended to serve was that it was supposed to either be a predecessor to a blockbuster rematch between Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey or it would result in the emergence of a worthy challenger for Cris “Cyborg” Justino who has not really had anyone actually stand up to her and give stiff competition since Gina Carano back in the year 2009.

However, we all know what happened with Ronda Rousey recently and we also know that Cyborg failed a drug test and is now pretty much a sitting duck waiting to be slapped with a suspension – which we believe will be a one year ban. Rousey, on the other hand was humbled by Amanda Nunes in a matter of seconds during UFC fight night 207 which has left a big question mark about Rousey’s career – when will she fight? or will she ever fight again? Your guess is as good as ours in this matter!

Irrespective of what purpose the Holm Vs. Randamie fight was supposed to serve, we cannot deny that it is going to be an excellent fight and the highlight of the night.

It’s safe to say this Saturday’s (February 11, 2017) UFC 208 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York has received more than its fair share of criticism from MMA fans and media alike.

After all, the card features the inaugural UFC women’s featherweight title fight, but it doesn’t involve the consensus top women’s featherweight in the world, Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino. While the UFC offered Cyborg several chances to participate in the fight, she ultimately turned them down and then failed a USADA drug test, leaving her UFC future in question for now.

The fact that the promotion went on to book a women’s featherweight title bout anyway was (and still is) viewed as a sort of money grab by the UFC to add legitimacy to a card that badly needed it.

Longtime former middleweight champion and MMA legend Anderson Silva was added to the card on somewhat short notice against knockout slugger Derek Brunson, a bout where “The Spider” would seem to have little to gain but everything to lose considering he hasn’t secured an official win since October 2012.

All of that has many fans understandably questioning if they will buy the pay-per-view. Will you?

The UFC is back this Saturday night (February 11, 2017) UFC 208 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, with the main event set to decide the first-ever UFC women’s featherweight champion when former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm meets touted striker Germaine de Randamie.

The main card also houses two pivotal bouts in the middleweight division, with decorated longtime former champion Anderson Silva set to take on blitzing knockout striker Derek Brunson in the co-main event. “The Spider” is looking for one more chance to win UFC gold before he retires, but his friend and training partner Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza will also look to continue his arduous quest towards a title shot of his own when he meets veteran Tim Boestch.

Overall, a new division will find its first direction and one of the UFC’s most revered will see some things mixed up towards the top as well, making this weekend’s event from Brooklyn a unique one.
