Luke Thomas and Chuck Mindenhall are with you on a Morning Kombat Monday, breaking down the results from the Apex over the weekend and more.

First up, the fellas discuss the main event, where Raul Rosas, Jr. secured a fifth-round stoppage win over Raoni Barcelos. However, the stoppage appeared to result from a medical episode Barcelos experienced.

On the rest of the card, Norma Dumont dropped a decision to Ailin Perez, but did Perez really do enough to win her way to a title shot? How surprising was it to see Brady Hiestand choke out Rinya Nakamura? And how much can we take from Yazmin Jauregui's stoppage of Vanessa Demopoulas?

There was also some drama surrounding the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight.

LT and The Iceman break it all down and more!
