| UFC 208: Holm vs. de Randamie is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will be held on February 11, 2017, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The event was originally scheduled to take place on January 21 at Honda Center in Anaheim, California.[2] However, due to a lack of suitable headliners for the date, the event in Anaheim was postponed to August 5 and an originally scheduled UFC 209 to be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on February 11 was renamed as UFC 208.[3][1] This will be the first UFC event held in Brooklyn and the fourth overall hosted in the state of New York.[3]
The event is expected to be headlined by the inaugural UFC Women's Featherweight Championship bout between former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie. It will also be the first women's featherweight bout in the promotion's history.[4][5] Holm can become the first female to win titles in multiple divisions in UFC's history and the fourth overall to do so.
A UFC Featherweight Championship unification bout between two-time champion José Aldo and interim champion Max Holloway was in the works for this card.[6] The bout eventually did not materialize as Holloway had some consideration (nagging injuries and the desire to spend Christmas with his family) about fighting only two months after UFC 206. |
