Hannibal Buress was already going to be heading to Phoenix for UFC Fight Night: Penn vs. Rodriguez in January. Then the well-known comedian saw on an online schedule that Invicta FC 21 was a day earlier in Kansas City.
“I thought, this would be a great MMA weekend,” Buress told MMA Fighting in a phone interview Friday.
Buress and his friends settled into the Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City and took in what ended up being one of the best fight cards of the year in terms of action, regardless of promotion.
