There are a few points every year where someone mentions what month it is and I look at them puzzled and wonder, “How is that possible?” This is one of those times, except for once, I know how it is that April sailed by and delivered us into May.
Even though there were only three events that took place last month, April was a non-stop thrill ride inside the Octagon, as it featured a bunch of outstanding performances, a couple major breakthrough moments and delivered the clubhouse leader for Fight of the Year. Entering the month buzzing from Justin Gaethje ending the UFC’s return to Philadelphia as only he can and with the anticipation for UFC 236 occupying the lone off week on the calendar, from there it was one entertaining event after another.
