Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on this 11-bout UFC Vegas 55: 'Holm vs. Vieira' Fight Night event."It’s not at all the worst card the UFC has ever put together, but UFC Vegas 55 has the feel of a card that won’t be among the promotion’s highlights for 2022. Mostly that’s down to Holly Holm’s reputation as a controlled, consistent, low damage fighter. Opponents that don’t have a clear striking advantage over her, have found her very tough to deal with. It’s on Ketlen Vieira to prove she can change the narrative. Otherwise, Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Michel Pereira should be a lot of fun, and a lot of the rest of the card is fine." - Zane SimonFor those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which airs at 2PM Central today, Thurs., May 19th., 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.
