After the UFC successfully took us on a 32-fight marathon earlier this month, the organization is back at it this week with UFC Fight Night APEX, live Saturday night from … say it with me: LAS VEGAS!
Yes, it’s true! The UFC is officially back in Las Vegas after the Nevada State Athletic Commission approved the return of combat sports earlier this week. Headlining the organization’s first event back are two of the world’s best welterweights. Former champ and No. 1 Tyron Woodley (19-4-1) takes on No. 6 Gilbert Burns (18-3). Woodley, hungry and looking to get back on track, will be making his long-awaited return after losing his title roughly 14 months ago to current champ Kamaru Usman.
