UFC 214 Results: Jones returns with a win, Woodley retains, Cyborg captures gold

UFC 214 WAS A STACKED CARD and it did live up to expectations. The main card started off with a showdown between Volkan Oezdemir and Jimi Manuwa. The fight barely lasted thirty seconds before Volkan knocked out his opponent in the first round itself.

The win proved to be a huge boost for Volkan and is expected to push him up the ranks. The fight between Robbie Lawler and Donald Cerrone surprisingly went the distance with Lawler getting a unanimous decision win.

Elsewhere, Cris Cyborg was crowned the new Women’s Featherweight champion of UFC when she defeated Invicta FC standout Tonya Evinger via a third round TKO. In the co-main event, a slow fight unfolded between Tyrone Woodley and Demian Maia.

Most fans expressed their frustration due to the slow pace but in the end, Woodley’s hands were raised. This proved to be his third successful title defense.

The main event fight saw Jon Jones make a triumphant return to the octagon. He got a TKO win over Daniel Cormier via a third round TKO and recapture the Light Heavyweight Championship which he never lost. After the fight, Jones event went on to call out Brock Lesnar.
