Tonight’s (Sat., Nov. 4, 2017) blockbuster UFC 217 is in the books from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

In the main event legendary longtime welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre returned to the sport after nearly four years off against middleweight champion Michael Bisping, emphatically winning the title with a third-round submission.

The card also featured two other high-profile title fights, with TJ Dillashaw stopping former teammate Cody Garbrandt in the co-main event. Finally, longtime women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk lost her belt to top contender Rose Namajunas in the pay-per-view (PPV) main card’s first title fight.

Obviously, there’s a ton to unpack with an event of this magnitude, so join us for the event’s post-fight press conference streaming live shortly after the main card ends right here:

UFC 217 Countdown Full Video

It may not be receiving the hype one would expect the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) event of the year to garner, but nonetheless, the promotion is set to deliver what appears to be just that, at least on paper, with this Saturday night’s (Nov. 4, 2017) UFC 217 from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New […]

It may not be receiving the hype one would expect the biggest pay-per-view (PPV) event of the year to garner, but nonetheless, the promotion is set to deliver what appears to be just that, at least on paper, with this Saturday night’s (Nov. 4, 2017) UFC 217 from Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York.

In the main event, longtime former welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre will make his return to the Octagon against controversial middleweight champion Michael Bisping after almost four years away from the sport in a bout that has gained a ton of criticism from MMA fans for letting Bisping avoid the top contenders in the stacked 185-pound division while St-Pierre jumps the line.

The co-main event features one of the most heated grudge matches of the year when bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt finally makes his first title defense against rival former teammate (and former champion) TJ Dillashaw.

Finally, dominant women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will attempt to tie Ronda Rousey’s record for most consecutive UFC title defense by a female with six when she meets Rose Namajunas for the belt. Supposed lack of buzz aside, this card is simply stacked.

Get ready for the blockbuster event from New York with the full UFC 217 Countdown video below:

Raquel Pennington Reportedly Broke Leg After Agreeing To UFC Title Fight

Top UFC women’s bantamweight contender Raquel Pennington was reportedly set for the biggest bout of her mixed martial arts (MMA) career, but apparently, that will have to wait until next year.

Top UFC women’s bantamweight contender Raquel Pennington was reportedly set for the biggest bout of her mixed martial arts (MMA) career, but apparently, that will have to wait until next year.

According to a report from Combate.com, Pennington accepted a fight with current UFC women’s 135-pound champion Amanda Nunes at December 30’s UFC 219 from Las Vegas, but then broke her leg in a car accident yesterday (Wed., October 25, 2017) in Colorado. The report offered no specifics on Pennington’s injury and expected recovery time.

The bout had not been officially announced by the UFC, but Nunes and Pennington had supposedly both agreed to the bout’s date and location. Nunes was not given a replacement opponent as of this writing and will apparently wait until 2018 for her next fight.

It’s another disappointing setback for the previously surging Pennington, who has been out of action with a series of injuries since her unanimous decision win over former champion Miesha Tate at November 2016’s UFC 205, her fourth straight win in a row.

She was set to take on her biggest-ever challenge in the surging Nunes, who, despite criticism of her controversial UFC 215 decision win over rival Valentina Shevchenko, has defended the women’s bantamweight belt two times.

Clearly the most deserving contender in a contender-starved women’s bantamweight division, Pennington’s return will now extend well into 2018, leaving her out of action for going on a year-and-a-half when she returns.
