Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of 9 bouts on this 15-bout UFC VEGAS 37: 'Anthony Smith vs. Ryan Spann' Fight Night event Preliminary Card.
"This week’s UFC card may not be all that great, but there’s certainly a whole lot of it. Former title contender Anthony Smith takes on Ryan Spann in the main event. Ion Cutelaba takes on Devin Clark in the co-main. Arman Tsarukyan and Joaquin Buckley otherwise make for notable high points out of the 30 fighters booked for 15 fights." – Zane Simon
