UFC 216 Medical Suspensions: Ray Borg Possibly Out Six Months

Ray Borg

UFC 216 has come and gone, and what an amazing event it was for mixed martial arts (MMA) fans.

In the main event of the evening, longtime UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson solidified himself as the interim lightweight champion of the world when he forced No. 7-ranked Kevin Lee to tap out to a triangle choke in the third round of their bout.

The night’s co-main event saw UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson become the most successful champion in MMA history when he defended his 125-pound strap for a record-breaking 11th consecutive time. “Mighty Mouse” pulled off a legendary suplex-to-armbar submission in the fifth round that forced Borg to tap out. The finish will live on in UFC highlight reels for years to come.
