My Top 5 Takeaways From UFC Fight Night Kansas City.

       Intro. 

As I sit here writing this piece. I was wondering what is Kansas City famous for. Well as it turned out, quite a fair bit. Football. BBQ. The blue collar attitude of America, and of course fighting. This was a great fight card, and a solid show from start to finish, so lets dig into the weeds of it.

5. Aliskerov Scares Me.

Ikram Aliskerov legit scares me, his performance against Andre Muniz was frighteningly good, what a TKO finish.

4 Holloway vs Poirer 3 Coming This Summer.

Max Holloway vs Dustin Poirer 3 for the BMF Championship, oh Dana White you tease, this turned out to be true. I was listening to the Fighting MMA podcast, whilst I was in the middle of Tesco's doing my weekly shop, when this got announced. I dropped a bottle of Coca Cola, because this was a oh s*** moment. The drinks aisle was a complete mess.

3 Randy Brown Is A Savage.

Randy Brown's knockout of Nicholas Dalby, was nothing short of a work of art. In the words of Mick Foley, oh my, oh my.

2. Ian Machado Garry.

Ian Machado Garry, beat. Carlos Prates in a solid 5 round war, and is now the back up fighter for the Welterweight title fight in two weeks time. The fighting Irish are so back.

1. Antony Smith.

In defeat Smith shows nothing but class. I can't believe that this the last time that were going to see him in the octagon. He lost to Chang Ming Yang. Yang was a gracious winner, as Antony was left in the octagon realing after a great thank you video, that featured Jellyroll. Chael Sonnen. Rashad Evans, and. Bruce Buffer all were seen saying thank you, as the emotion ran down Antony's face. From facing a hard loss at the end of last year, to leaving his gloves in the cage. Antony us fans will miss your fighting tenacity. Godspeed mr Smith.
