The intensity inside the Apex Facility was tense, to say the least, as the main events made their walk.

MMA fighters and fans took notice of the highly anticipated light heavyweight scrap and shared their views online.

The fight delivered in a massive way as Jiri Prochazka ended the fight with a devastating spinning back elbow. Reyes ate the shot on the chin and went down like a falling stack of cards. ‘Denisa’ has announced himself as a formidable presence and is an immediate threat to fight for a title.

Dominick Reyes took several minutes to recover from the blow, and fans were concerned with the way he fell. Chiefly, he crashed onto the canvas face first and seemed to land on his neck. With the loss to Prochazka, he’s now on a three-fight losing streak and will be out of action for a while.
