History was made in Saturday’s UFC 208 main event when Germaine de Randamie became first UFC women’s featherweight champion when she defeated fellow striking specialist Holly Holm . De Randamie (7-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) became the inaugural 145-pound champion and first Dutch-born fighter to win a UFC belt since Bas Rutten in 1999 when she topped Holm (10-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) by unanimous decision in the headlining bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. Check below for the top Twitter reactions to de Randamie’s victory over Holm at UFC 208
