Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of six bouts on the massive 15-bout UFC VEGAS 23 Fight Night: 'Vettori vs Holland' Main Card.
"The main event took a bit of a hit with the loss of Darren Till, but this weekend’s UFC event is crammed to the gills with what should largely be action fights. Kevin Holland has once again stepped up on short notice, this time to fight top contender Marvin Vettori. Arnold Allen and Sodiq Yusuff are looking to separate themselves from the fast rising prospects in the featherweight division, and Nina Ansaroff makes her long awaited return against BJJ ace Mackenzie Dern." - Zane Simon
