The Vegas Sun had a look at this event last Saturday.
Former WBA heavyweight champ Mike Weaver didn’t know what to expect having never seen an MMA match first-hand before.
“It was really cool,” said Weaver, who was cornering for Las Vegas-based fighter Herman Scott. “I think the fans really enjoyed the back-and-forth duality of both sports. I think this is probably the way of the future.”
Ultimate Fighting Championship star Wanderlei Silva agreed, saying he was impressed by the flow of the event.
“I think everyone who was here loves the fight game, and I don’t believe there’s as much separation as some people think,” said Silva, who has been training with Lopez for about a month. “People got to see a good show.”
