Zane Simon, Connor Ruebusch return to breakdown this week’s UFC Fight Night Moncton, New Brunswick event. With picks and odds for every bout on the card. The UFC returns this week with... a card? UFC Fight Night: Oezdemir vs. Smith has some fun bouts dotted all up and down it, but for the most part it feels like just an event to keep everyone’s contractual obligations fulfilled. Most notably, if Volkan Oezdemir gets a big KO over Anthony Smith in the main event, he probably has a title shot coming against the Jones/Gus 2 winner. Otherwise, nobody on the event seems especially on the cusp of anything more than another chance to showcase their talent.
The main card breakdown is posted here, but we’re splitting things up, so if you’re interested in the prelims, you can find those in a new post coming up next right here on SoundCloud. There will also be a video version of the Prelims post found on Bloody Elbow Presents YouTube channel.
