UFC 208 in Brooklyn another sign of growing women's MMA
The latest addition, featherweight, will debut in Saturday's UFC 208 pay-per-view main event at Barclays Center when Holly Holm faces Germaine de Randamie in the inaugural championship bout. The arrival of featherweight to the UFC is, to some degree, overshadowed by the woman who won't be fighting in Brooklyn, and it's not Rousey. Cris "Cyborg" Justino has been regarded as the best female featherweight in MMA for years, and hasn't lost since her debut in 2005. And, with a clear path to the UFC, perhaps more athletes will pursue an MMA career. The UFC added a strawweight (115-pound) division after the success Rousey and her peers achieved.
Mike Goldberg May Return To MMA Commentary But UFC 208 Set To Go On Without Him
This weekend UFC 208 will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and it will be the first numbered UFC event since former commentator Mike Goldberg left the organisation. Meanwhile, Mike Goldberg may be set for a return to MMA commentary as it has emerged that head of Bellator president Scott Coker is in talks with the former UFC man about possibly working with his organisation. Ariel Helwani has since revealed the lineup for the commentary team at UFC 208, and again it will utilise a three-man team featuring Daniel Cormier. #Bellator president Scott Coker says he's talking with Mike Goldberg about potentially filling event dates PBP man Sean Grande can't fulfil. https://t.co/IcQLjoR7Zj — Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) February 5, 2017What is interesting about this is that seemingly the UFC have not yet found their replacement for Goldberg.This content may collect you by Max Nolan
