UFC 211: Dustin Poirier to appeal controversial no contest against Eddie Alvarez

UFC 211 was a fantastic event, showcasing the full range of mixed martial arts to the causal and hardcore fan base, but the pay-per-view wasn't without its controversy.

Heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic defended his title in the main event, overwhelming and TKO'ing Junior dos Santos in the first round, and women's strawweight champ, Joanna Ju0119drzejczyk, defended her title for the fifth time against Jéssica Andrade, cruising to a unanimous decision win.

But most of the talk has come from the final preliminary bout between former lightweight title holder Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier.
