Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of FIVE bouts on the UFC Vegas 5: 'BRUNSON vs. SHAHBAZYAN' event. Sign up for ESPN+ and watch UFC VEGAS 5: ‘Brunson vs. Shahbazyan’ - #UFCAPEX at: go.web.plus.espn.com/c/482924/56698…id=BloodyElbow There’s not any one really big exciting highlight for this week’s UFC card, but it should be a pretty entertaining set of bouts from beginning to end. Edmen Shahbazyan takes another strong step toward contention against Derek Brunson in the middleweight main event. Joanna Calderwood puts her contender status at heavy risk against Jennifer Maia in the co-main. And Lando Vannata and Bobby Green get a chance to settle their draw from a few years back. Oh, and welterweight power puncher Vicente Luque is back.
