Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on this 13-bout UFC 278: 'Usman vs Edwards 2' PPV event."The UFC is back with their latest PPV offering and it’s... fine, I guess? Leon Edwards has certainly earned the right to rematch Kamaru Usman, it remains to be seen whether he can make it an interesting bout this time around or not. Jose Aldo vs. Merab Dvailishvili is a certified war with title implications. The rest of the PPV bookings seem either decidedly one-sided or lackluster in their name value." - Zane Simon 08.18.22For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which will air at 2PM Central today, Thurs., Aug. 18th., 2022, right here on our SC channel.The MMA Vivisection is brought to you by ‘The Fine Art of Violence’, a collection of art and essays recapping the year in MMA by Chris Rini, featuring the most talented artists and writers in Mixed Martial Arts.
