Excellent performance by Apochi, he may be the goods, but he’ll be 34 this year, so he needs to make his move soon. Maybe an Andrew Tabiti next?
Nicholson looked like a deer in the headlights when he started getting hit, as if he kind of froze a big in his biggest fight to date. Not sure Apochi will beat the top guys in the division, but he’s fun to watch.
