Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of eight bouts on the 15-bout UFC VEGAS 17: Thompson vs. Neal Preliminary Card. "Following fresh on the heels of a fantastic UFC 256 fight card, the promotion is once again offering a deep night of MMA action. And this time, without the $65 price tag. In the main event, perennial contender Stephen Thompson looks to offer Geoff Neal his first taste of the welterweight elite. And in the co-main Jose Aldo will look to turn back the charge of Marlon Vera. Throw Michel Pereira vs. Khaos Williams and some Marlon Moraes vs. Rob Font in there and it should be an awesome night of fights." - Zane Simon Sign up for #ESPN+ and watch #UFCVEGAS17: #THOMPSONvsNEAL - #UFCAPEX — DEC 19th., 2020 at: http://go.web.plus.espn.com/c/482924/566982/9070?sharedid=BloodyElbow 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., December 17th., 2020, right here on our SC channel.
