Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of five bouts on the 12-bout UFC 258: 'Usman vs Burns' Main Card.
"UFC 258 approaches and, to be perfectly honest, it’s not the best PPV card the promotion has ever put together. As notable scraps between Chris Weidman & Uriah Hall and Jimmie Rivera & Pedro Munhoz have been delayed, the card has largely been left with its title fight between Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns. Maycee Barber & Kelvin Gastelum add a little extra interest, but this probably won’t rank among the UFC’s biggest sellers." - Zane Simon
