Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of five bouts (including three tittle fights) on the UFC 251 'Usman vs. Masvidal' PPV event, taking place from Fight Island off the coast of Abu Dhabi this weekend, Sat. July 11th, 2020. This is the promotion’s biggest card in a couple months, and it’s likely to be the biggest card for much of the rest of the summer as well. Even with Cormier vs. Miocic 3 out ahead, nothing planned really compares to the trio of title fights atop this first event on ‘Fight Island.’ In the main event, Jorge 'Gamebred' Masvidal steps in on just a week’s notice to challenge welterweight champion Kamaru 'The Nigerian Nightmare' Usman. In the co-main, featherweight king Alexander 'The Great' Volkanovski re-matches the recently dethroned Max 'Blessed' Holloway. And before either of those two bouts hit the Octagon, Petr Yan and José Aldo Junior throw down for the vacant bantamweight title.
