LAS VEGAS – Hyder Amil feels his fighting is for the people, and that’s why he doesn’t want to fight anymore at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Quickly catching the eyes of many MMA fans, Amil (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has put on fun showings with devastating finishes and wild wars in his short UFC run. At Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 253 , Amil defeated William Gomis (14-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in a hard-fought split decision that had many watching from home raving over the action. However, not many people got to witness Amil’s upset win in person, as he competed at the UFC Apex – which is a UFC owned facility with small capacity compared to arenas. “My fights are way too exciting for the Apex,” Amil said at the UFC Fight Night 253 post-fight press conference
