The main event of UFC 170 saw a little bit of controversy. Ronda Rousey and Sara McMann were staging a pretty entertaining fight until Ronda scored with a knee to the liver that dropped McMann. It seemed that she had recovered to a degree by the time referee Herb Dean got to the fighters, but he called it off nonetheless and awarded the win to the champion. Check out my play-by-play below, or watch the video highlights above.
