FIGHT NIGHT: ROYVAL .VS. KAPE RECAP

The last apex card of the year and ESPN era was electric. It started in the Women's division with Jamey Lyn Horth getting a round 1 knockout. 2 fights later, a personality on the mic and a contender in the heavyweight division, Steve Asplund got a bloody 2nd round KO. Neil Magny was defeated by a 28-1 Bellator prospect, Yaroslav Amosov by anaconda choke to end off the prelims. Starting off the main card, King Bobby Green got the split decision over a young Lance Gibson JR. The very next fight, Kennedy Nzechukuwu made his return to the UFC to draw against Marcus Buchecha. Kennedy lost a point for an eye poke in the second round, hence why it was a draw. Then, a VERY exciting fight featuring Melquizal Costa vs. Morgan Charriere needed no judges with Costa getting the first round head kick KO. Melquizal is a legit contender with 4 wins this year alone. In the co-main event featuring veteran Giga Chikadze vs. Kevin Vallejos, it failed to disappoint with Kevin landing a round 2 SPINNING ELBOW knocking Giga out with ground strikes. In the MAINN EVENT Royval vs Kape, Manel started off strong and stayed that way, ending it with a big right hand to knock Royval out.
