UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs. Burns - Fights to make
The UFC’s first Apex show was kind of a weird card on paper, but ended up being a lot of fun in practice. A lot of that might be chalked up to the promotion using their smaller cage for the event—something that kept fighters like Woodley, Ivanov, and Gutierrez much more engaged with their opponents than they might otherwise choose to be. But, no mater the reason, the fights provided a lot of entertainment—even if they were largely short on deeper meaning.
So, is Gilbert Burns officially welterweight’s top contender now? Is Augusto Sakai on his way to being a top 10 heavyweight? And what the heck is the UFC gonna do with Katlyn Chookagian in the women’s flyweight division?
