Check out Facebook for thousands of photos from On Top 6 and our FB timeline for a play by play of the live event .
On Top 6 promised to be an action packed show and didn't disappoint, for this event the promotion decide to change venue from the Kelvingrove sports arena to the Play Drome in Clydebank and it certainly seemed for the better.
The packed house got behind every local fighter one hundred percent up until two local fighters took to the cage to finish their hotly tipped trilogy, the crowd became split which made for a great back and forth battle between both the fighters and the crowd. Besides this epic finale the event also boasted two title fights including one that was anticipated worldwide and a total of 11 professional MMA fights.
The show started off quickly with two first round stoppages but after that almost all of the fights turned into three round battles that any fight card would be proud to have and with this change of venue it looks like On Top will only get stronger. With the calibre of fighters they have under their roster and excellent matchmaking it should be an easy task for On Top to sell tickets to a show every time one comes around.
