Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of eight bouts on the 13-bout UFC VEGAS 18: Overeem vs Volkov Preliminary Card. "The UFC’s back from another week off and bringing a strong main card to their latest Vegas Fight Night event, despite getting hit hard by COVID and injuries. Alistair Overeem vs. Alexander Volkov is a quality top 10 heavyweight scrap, and Frankie Edgar’s continued bid to be a contender at 135 is running up against a serious test in Cory Sandhagen. Throw in the debut of Rizin champ Manel Kape and Dariush vs. Ferreira 2 and this should be a fun night of fights." - 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., February 4th., 2021, right here on our SC channel.
