Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of FIVE bouts on the UFC 253: 'Adesanya vs. Costa' main card. Sign up for the ESPN+ PPV and watch #UFC253: ‘ADESANYA VS. COSTA’ - #UFCFIGHTISLAND http://go.web.plus.espn.com/c/482924/595608/9070?sharedid=BloodyElbow It’s finally time for another big ‘stacked’ UFC PPV card. The headline bout of UFC 253, between Paulo Costa and Israel Adesanya is a real thriller that should offer wall-to-wall action of the very highest order. The co-main event between Dominick Reyes and Jan Blachowicz may not have the big name value fans want out of a light heavyweight title fight, but I expect it to be a technical, persistent rage striking battle between two men with light heavyweight firepower. Throw some Kai Kara-France, Ketlen Vieira, and Hakeem Dawodu vs. Zubaira Tukhugov in there and the whole thing spells violence. For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS side of the event, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which aired at 1pm Central today, Thurs., September 24th., 2020, right here on our SC channel.
