AXS TV Fights has a long history of sending the best of the best from its promotions upward and onward to the UFC.
In fact, Saturday, at UFC 235, four veterans of AXS TV Fights shows will be in action at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass.
At the top of that heap is light heavyweight title challenger Anthony Smith (31-13 MMA, 7-3 UFC), who will try – against long odds – to take the belt from champion Jon Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC).
And just before that, another AXS TV Fights vet, Kamaru Usman (14-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC), challenges champion Tyron Woodley (19-3-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) for the welterweight title.
AXS TV vet Pedro Munhoz (17-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) opens up the main card against former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt (11-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and could be in line for a title shot with a win. And Charles Byrd (10-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) fights for the UFC for the third time since his AXS TV days when he meets the unbeaten Edmen Shahbazyan (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in a middleweight bout.
Check out the video above to get a look back at the AXS TV action from Smith, Usman, Munhoz and Byrd ahead of their UFC 235 matchups.
