Another exciting fight night has been provided by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). UFC 214 took place over the weekend in Anaheim, Calif. with a highly anticipated set of title fights. Jon Jones reclaimed his title from rival Daniel Cormier in the night’s main event. Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino earned the UFC featherweight title in a bout against Invicta’s Tonya Evinger. That being said, some fans and fighters were not pleased with the night’s co-main event title fight.
In the night’s co-main event, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley faced off against Demian Maia. The fight ultimately went the distance, with Tyron Woodley earning a unanimous decision victory over his opponent. It was later revealed that the fight has broken the UFC record for least fights thrown in a title fight.
With that in mind, many of the UFC’s fighters have come forward with their thoughts on the night’s co-main event over Twitter.
