Despite little Ultimate promotion, UFC 216 last Saturday (7) made history for the organization with two title fights and a lot of excitement for Brazilians. In the main fight, Tony Ferguson became the first interim UFC lightweight champion and is expected to face Conor McGregor in your next fight. Right before “El Cucuy”’s victory over Kevin Lee, Demetrious Johnson overcame Ray Borg, made his 11th defense of the flyweight belt and surpassed Anderson Silva on the list of the event's most dominant champions.
