Filed under: Featured , News , UFC No matter what we say about the inaugural UFC women’s featherweight title fight at UFC 208 on Saturday night, we’ll at least have to admit that it was memorable. For that, we mostly have newly crowned champion Germaine de Randamie to thank. She’s the one who gave us the most significant action in her clash with Holly Holm , at times bending the rules to get there, then began her title reign with a victory speech that sounded thoroughly unenthusiastic about facing the only logical contender for the UFC’s newest title. In short, it was a great way to get off to a bad start as UFC champ, though at least it gave us a reason to notice her. And when you’re trying to gain traction as the queen of a new division, maybe it’s not so bad to start off by giving fans a clear way to feel about you – even if a lot of them end up feeling like they hate you. But, OK, maybe hate is too strong a word.
