This Saturday’s, August 15th., UFC 252 PPV event, broadcast from the APEX Fight Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, showcased the most important heavyweight bout of the year, maybe of UFC history even… the trilogy bout between Stipe Miocic and Daniel ‘DC’ Cormier for the undisputed UFC World Heavyweight Championship. Our co-main event showcased The Sugar Show The Chito Show, when bantamweights Sean ‘Sugar’ O’Malley and Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera went at it for just under five anti-climatic minutes, when Sugar rolled his ankle, hobbling his performance. Add to that a brutal battle between Daniel Pineda and Herbert Burns, and the main card was certifiably hot.
Also, earlier on the card, we had an exciting match-up between Vinc Pichel and Jim Miller, which went to the judges scorecards; and that bout was preceded by a truly rapid match-up which took place between Virna Jandiroba and Felice Herrig, which lasted a mere 1:44 of Round 1, ending via an armbar sub; rounding things out, we were treated to POTN efforts put forth by Daniel Pineda and Virna Jandiroba. Believe it or not the FOTN honors went to the opening prelim bout featuring prospects Kai Kamaka III and Tony Kelley, ending in Kamaka taking the Unanimous Decision. Overall, the eleven bout card saw four KO/TKOs, one wicked submission and six decisions… what a fun night of fights we have to discuss with you!
