Connor Ruebusch & Guest Host, Dan Tom from MMA Junkie, are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 6 bouts on this massive 14-bout UFC VEGAS 41: 'Paulo Costa vs. Marvin Vettori' Fight Night event Main Card.First of all, this card is just one more off-week card in what feels like years of off-week cards. But, if last week was a 2 out of 10, this week is a 9. Last week’s card was as low as we can go. But hey, this card isn't as bad as all that. We have two guys who have recently both lost to Israel Adesanya, who are both pressure fighters, Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori, headlining our main event. Plus, there are a couple of pretty solid matchups peppered on this card to keep it interesting, and maybe even exciting this week. Not to mention, this card starts earlier in the day than most of our Fight Night cards, which is always a nice change of pace. To add to that, let’s just say the prelims are pleasantly surprising.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. 21st., 2021, right here on our SC channel.The MMA Vivisection is brought to you by Combat Wombat, makers of combat sports themed artwork featuring MMA’s legendary fighters and legendary fights.
