In the APEX’s penultimate performance before we sail to Fight Island, former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier and grumpy New Zealander Dan Hooker collided with a determined FOTY candidate who left both men, not surprisingly, in the hospital .
In the co-main event, Mike Perry and his girlfriend decided on a deflated Mickey Gall in a fight that many expected to take a different direction. Saturday was an abundance of wealth and witnessed several exceptional performances and fights, including Brendan Allen and Kyle Daukas’ bloody middleweight performance, an impressive comeback win for Julian Erosa, a quick night at the Pancrase alumni office Takashi Sato, and a beautiful heavyweight KO for Tanner Boser.
