UFC 211 went down over the weekend with an intense title fight main event and some more fights to boot. While the crowd was roaring for many of the fights, there was one super fan in particular who stood out from the crowd.
In one of the night’s bouts, former UFC lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez took on Dustin Poirier. The fight was cut short in the second round and ended in neither fighters’ favor.
Eddie Alvarez landed a few knees to the head of his opponent in the second round. Many spectators deemed the strikes illegal blows to a downed opponent. Still, the fight was stopped, as Poirier was deemed unfit to continue.
In the end, the bout was declared a no contest. But before the end came about, Eddie Alvarez’s biggest fan, his wife, could be heard among the crowd. View the video below to see the former champion’s wife giving it her all in supporting her husband.
