Last night, the UFC made its first stop in Brooklyn, New York with UFC 208<\/a>. The card was headlined by a bit of history, as the main event crowned the UFC’s first-ever women’s featherweight champion. In corner of this main event, we had former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm. In the other, we had Dutch kickboxing import Germaine De Randamie.<\/p>\n

Though it was not a particularly riveting fight, this one ultimately went to De Randamie.<\/a> Given the fact that Holm seemed to steal the second half of the fight, and that De Randamie landed two blatant shots after the bell, however, this outcome generated immediate controversy among MMA fans. Holm and De Randamie’s fellow fighters, of course, also had plenty to say about this iffy outcome.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best fighter reactions to De Randamie and Holm’s fights, De Randamie’s shots after the bell, and De Randamie’s close decision win over Holm.<\/p>\n

I fought in then men's welterweight division and DeRandamie fought in the women's bantamweight & she has a longer reach than me #UFC208<\/a><\/p>\n
