Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of six bouts on this 12-bout UFC VEGAS 29 'Korean Zombie vs. Dan Ige' Fight Night Main Card.
"This week’s UFC card is... I guess we’ll just call it a cool down from the promotion loading up last week’s PPV with quality fights. It’s got a great action bout in the main event between Chan Sung Jung and Dan Ige. But, after that, the quality takes a pretty steep drop. There are a few highlights here and there, but mostly it seems like the UFC just has some contract requirements to meet." – Zane Simon
For fans who want to dive deeper into the (admittedly very shallow) undercard, check out the Prelims Vivi which airs at 1pm Central today, Thurs., June 17th., 2021, right here on our SC channel.
