UFC 219 ended up being a letdown. It appeared to have so much promise only to slowly crumble. First we lost former champion Dominick Cruz’s return to the ring after a year away in a highly anticipated contest with Jimmie Rivera due to Cruz suffering a broken arm. Then we lost Rivera and his replacement John Lineker when Lineker required emergency dental surgery. And remember when the UFC told everyone Cris Cyborg and Holly Holm was supposed to be the co-main event? Instead what we go was a decision-heavy event without a single KO/TKO.
