Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 6 bouts on this 12-bout UFC Vegas 53: 'Font vs. Vera' Fight Night event."The UFC’s 2022 schedule is in full swing right now, heading into their 4th straight event, with another three still to go before their next week off. So it’s not much of a surprise that some of these fight night cards are feeling a little thin. This week Rob Font takes on Marlon Vera in a fantastic bantamweight scrap, that more or less makes the event’s only really notable fight. Gerald Meerschaert vs. Krzysztof Jotko marks what’s otherwise probably the most relevant booking of the night." - Zane SimonFor those fans who wish to dive deeper into the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which already aired at 1PM Central today, Thurs., Apr. 28th., 2022, right here on our SC channel.The MMA Vivisection is brought to you by The Fine Art of Violence, a collection of art and essays recapping the year in MMA by Chris Rini, featuring the most talented artists and writers in Mixed Martial Arts.

When the stats are done being audited they will be reported in each show post again. For UFC Vegas 52: Zane and Connor shared the same picks, they went 8/11.
