UFC 216: Starring Demetrious Johnson’s armbar - Post fight analysis in six easy tweets

UFC 216: Demetrious Johnson (co-starring Tony Ferguson vs. Kevin Lee) was a two fight card, and it ended up being much more than that.

Between Johnson’s suplex armbar, and Ferguson’s callout of Conor McGregor, UFC 216 achieved that rare combination of quality, action, and narrative.

Granted, senseless lunacy, aggressive idiocy, and governing malfeasance were all part of the Vegas mixed martial arts plot too, but hey — this wouldn’t be the sport we all know and love if there wasn’t something challenging us to disregard it.
