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.

For those of you following the picks made on the show, we started tracking them with the July 13th Vivi for ‘Kattar vs. Ige’, so far the standings are: Zane is now 73/110 & Connor is now 75/110 - last week Zane went 9 out of 11 & Connor went 8 out of 11, unfortunately we had a draw and a cancellation they made picks for that did not count when the card was finalized.
