Though I doubt sales for UFC 216 will be impressive, I doubt anyone who purchased the PPV walked away disappointed. Though he is the longest-reigning UFC champion by a longshot, it could be said Demetrious Johnson had a breakout performance…at least in terms of fan appeal. In the course of breaking the record for consecutive title defenses, the crowd was chanting his name…and that was before Johnson ended the contest with one of the most memorable submissions in the history of the sport. Did I mention a new lightweight champion may very well have been crowned?
