WASHINGTON, DC—This city waited 33 years for a baseball team. But guess what: after a long stint in the expansion team trash heap, this year the Washington Nationals became your World Series champions.
Fans of the Washington Capitals waited 44 years for a Stanley Cup, which the team, behind the great Alex Ovechkin, finally delivered in 2018.
The last time the UFC visited DC, it was eight long years ago. Given that the UFC stages roughly seven shows a day, that time period is definitely in dog years. To give you some perspective, when that show went down back in 2011, Demetrious Johnson was still a bantamweight and the UFC still aired on Versus.
