Connor Ruebusch & Guest Host, Dan Tom from MMA Junkie, are here with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of 8 bouts on this massive 14-bout UFC VEGAS 41: 'Paulo Costa vs. Marvin Vettori' Fight Night event Preliminary 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.To add to that, let’s just say the prelims are pleasantly surprising. The featured prelim is well-suited for this slot on the card. It is an exciting middleweight bout between ‘The Iron Turtle’ Jun Yong Park and Gregory ‘RoboCop’ Rodrigues. Park is coming into this bout on a three-fight win streak, has good wrestling skills, efficient boxing, a really decent jab and Rodrigues, the black belt, has decent wrestling as well, and a lot of defense training on how to respond to that jab and is on his own three-fight win streak.For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which airs at 2pm 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.
