UFC 211 took place on Saturday night in Dallas, Texas. And despite the fact that two champions defended their belts in dominant fashion, and put themselves in consideration for the title of “Greatest of All Time” in their respective weight divisions, arguable the biggest story coming out of the weekend is, once again, regulatory.
In the final prelim bout on FX, former lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez faced Dustin Poirier in his first fight back since losing the title. It was a bout many predicted to earn Fight of the Night honors, and it may have had won if not for a controversial sequence of events that prematurely stopped the fight.
