Last night, the UFC touched down beautiful Brooklyn, New York, for the first time ever with UFC 208. On the same night the organization made its debut in the borough, it also crowned its first ever female featherweight champion.<\/p>\n

It crowned this new champ by pitting former women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm against kickboxing specialist Germaine De Randamie. After five rounds of action, which saw De Randamie win the first half of the fight, and Holm steal the momentum down the stretch, the judges awarded the decision \u2013 and therefore the crown \u2013 to De Randamie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Naturally, this loss \u2013 especially\u00a0given how close it was<\/a> \u2013 left Holm feeling pretty unhappy. All the same, the former champ attended her obligatory UFC 208 post-fight press conference to address the fight and its controversial outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fight could have gone either way,\u201dA bruised and battered Holm said of the judges’ decision. \u201cI felt like I had three rounds, but I also had her rocked twice and didn\u2019t capitalize on it, and that\u2019s my own fault.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think it warrants a rematch,\u201d she continued. \u201cWhen you have more than half the people saying the fight should have gone the other way, usually that warrants a rematch. So that would be awesome.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Holm then commented on the two instances in which De Randamie threw shots after the bell.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, yeah [it was intentional],\u201d she said. \u201cIf it\u2019s one shot after the bell after a combo, that\u2019s an accident. But I still think I could have won the fight on my own.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Finally, the former bantamweight queen touched on her next move. Given that she’s now on a three-fight losing-streak, she said she’ll take whoever the UFC is prepared to offer her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sitting in a spot where my last three fights, I\u2019m 0-3, so I\u2019ll take whatever they\u2019ll give me.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
