Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on this mere 10-bout UFC VEGAS 39: 'Mackenzie Dern vs. Marina Rodriguez' Fight Night event Main Card. "Maybe it was the weight of expectations that killed last week’s card. What had seemed to be a great Fight Night on paper turned into a near disastrous series of main card bouts, marked by inactivity and a brutal clash of heads. Fortunately for fans, the UFC hasn’t created near as much investment in this week’s offering—with a fantastic main event between Marina Rodriguez and Mackenzie Dern, and little else of consequence." -- Zane Simon For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which aired at 1pm Central today, Thurs., Oct. 7th., 2021, right here on our SC channel.
