UFC 216 was destined to be historic. When Demetrious Johnson was first scheduled to fight Ray Borg, the MMA gods decided that was not the day worthy to dethrone Anderson Silva’s title defense record. That day was pre-destined to be October 7.
After the tragic shooting in Las Vegas at the Route 91 Strip Music Festival, the UFC donated $1 million to the city and it’s victims. Dana White and company love this city that accepts them many times a year. So they gave back, and what a night it was.
