great card in Kansas City this week. Highly interested in the Garry Prates fight.

I have been invited to go camping, so we'll see if I can actually watch it...

[GoRapstheoriginal]

Some good knock outs last night!

Watch on YouTube

here's some of the highlights!


I only caught the final 3 fights, I was on the Nikal hype train on my picks but he was fraud checked badly lol

[GoRapstheoriginal]

Haha ya no doubt! Glad it was a free card.

Haha ya no doubt! Glad it was a free card.

I hope they start visiting smaller cities more often instead of the Apex. It's refreshing to see crowds and they are way more hyped up than average because it's a very rare thing to have such a circus in town lol

This was in Des Moines, and the crowd was great in the final fights. They've done KC, Seattle, and Denver, Austin and San Antonio recently - Atlanta and Nashville coming up. Hopefully this trend continues in the second half of the year. They have been to Canada a handful of times recently, and next week is PPV in Montreal!! awesome. They should do more fight nights in the major cities in Canada too.

I may catch a few fights, we will see how busy I get on Saturday. I don't have anything planned but it looks like a great day so I'll probably be outside getting my hands dirty lol

Otherwise, it's an Apex card and a lot of Brazilian fighters can make it to LV to stack these cards near the Performance Institute. I guess I'm slightly interested in Gordon v Moises, and the top-3 of the card (Main event, co-main, and the Yussuf fight).

Yussuf had a tough loss at UFC 300 - but is a fun fighter to watch regardless. Co main is a good slot here to test both. ...and Paul Craig needs to win to stay in the UFC it seems, major losing streak... Just interested in how they fare.

Burns is a good watch for the main event too, but I think he's slowing down so I picked Morales to dec win.

My aunt & uncle are leaving for Greece for 2 months. I totally forgot my cousin requested that I come with to keep him company on the drive back from Toronto. :\ So there goes my day haha! Were leaving at like 10 am from London.

[Clav]

Great final few fights, but the Craig fight was called off last minute. Morales KO'd Burns with some high level striking...

[GoRapstheoriginal]

Ya it was decent free card. I was able to catch the main card for the most part.

[GoRapstheoriginal]

Finally a F*cking weekend off from UFC! Yay! Lolz
