UFC 217 Rewind 🗽

By Darryn Smith 

The craziest scenarios always happens in New York City...3 title changes in one night. Never been done before in #UFC History until now. Namajunas was runner up on #TUF20 show and lost to Carla Esparza in the finale. To see the path that new champion Rose Namajunas has taken to reach this high level of excellence by defeating undefeated UFC Strawweight Champion Jonna Jedrzejczyk, was a huge step for her. It surely came full circle last night when she TKO Jedrzejczyk to secure herself as one of the best fighters in #WMMA. Meanwhile, The Ultimate Fighter 25 coaches TJ Dillashaw and Cody Garbarndt finally squared off in their long awaited bout. Dillashaw proved why he still deserves to be champion in The UFC with a knockout win over Garbarndt. Both fighters showed admiration and respect after their bout. Dillashaw stated in his post-fight interview that he still wants to fight current UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson. We never can tell what are on the minds of UFC Executives and UFC President Dana White but we hope to hear more exciting fight news regarding it soon. In the mainevent, The Return of former UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre, after a 4 year layoff, stepped inside The Octagon against reigning Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping. The extra weight played a little factor on GSP endurance level after the first round but Georges executed his game-plan well for the win and to become the 4th UFC fighter to be a two-division champion.
