UFC 212 medical suspensions

This past weekend, fight fans tuned in to what proved to be a spectacular event, headlined by a thrilling main event scrap between Max Holloway and Jose Aldo. While Aldo settled into a rhythm quickly, and landed early on in the fight, it was Holloway who came alive in the second and third rounds, ultimately finishing the champion in the third round via strikes.

In the co-main event, former UFC women’s strawweight title challenger Claudia Gadelha picked up another big win as she defeated top ranked women’s strawweight contender Karolina Kowalkiewicz via 1st round submission. In addition, the main card of the pay-per view also saw UFC veteran Vitor Belfort snap a lengthy losing streak as he picked up a decision win over Nate Marquardt
