UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal (@GamebredFighter), Mario Delgado (@mariodelgadorzm) and Victor Davila (@mastervic10) are the Spanish language broadcast team on FOX Deportes.
In addition, former UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate (@MieshaTate) and retired UFC contender Kenny Florian (@KennyFlorian) work as desk analysts with host Karyn Bryant (@KarynBryant) for the FS1 UFC 208 WEIGH-IN, PREFIGHT and POSTFIGHT SHOWS from
FOX Sports' Los Angeles studios. Reporter Megan Olivi (@MeganOlivi) interviews fighters on-site in Brooklyn.
UFC 208: HOLM VS. DE RANDAMIE is headlined by Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie in a battle to become the promotion's first female world champion at 145 pounds. This five-round featherweight championship bout pits two of combat sports' greatest strikers against each other, with three-division world boxing champion Holm squaring off with three-division Muay Thai champion de Randamie.
Cormier believes the main event is a must-watch striking duel: "Germaine de Randamie is one of the most aggressive strikers I've seen in all fighting. She's tough, durable and hits very hard. But she's going to have to set traps for Holly, because Holly has the ability with her boxing footwork to make you look silly. I believe this is the highest level of striking you can get in all the UFC." Watch Cormier's UFC 208 preview from last Saturday's FS1
