Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of five bouts on the 10-bout UFC 260: 'Miocic vs N'Gannou 2' Preliminary Card.
"It started out as a pretty decent PPV. But by the time fight night comes around UFC 260 feels a lot more like a seriously diminished product. The main event, between Francis N'Gannou and Stipe Miocic still feels like a big fight. But Tyron Woodley vs. Vicente Luque and Sean O’Malley vs. Thomas Almeida aren’t quite carrying the hype the way they might have a couple years ago." - Zane Simon
For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which airs at 2pm Central today, Thurs., March 25th., 2021, right here on our SC channel.
