The Apex Fight Center in Las Vegas, Nevada was home to a fun night of fights at UFC On ESPN 9: Woodley vs. Burns. The card saw two (T)KOs, four submissions and five decisions, including one split-decision.
The UFC’s first card at their Apex Fight Center was a good one, filled with action-packed fights and several finishes. Katlyn Chookagian rebounded from her knockout loss to Valentina Shevchenko by completely and utterly outclassing her younger sister Antonina Shevchenko. If ever there was an example of the vast gulf in talent between siblings, this was a prime one.
Mackenzie Dern returned strong after suffering her first loss to Amanda Ribas last year.
