Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on the first UFC event of the year. This is a 12-bout UFC Vegas 67: 'Strickland vs Imavov' Fight Night event we are covering for you, today, Jan. 12th. 2023."I’m not necessarily sure that the main event of UFC Vegas 67 got better with Sean Strickland’s late entry into the headlining bout against Nassourdine Imavov, but it certainly creates more questions about just what kind of fight fans are going to see. With the fight up at 205, will Strickland be fit for 5 rounds? Will Imavov be helped by not having to cut? Can Strickland still make this a pace fight? The rest of the card is fine, if not terribly notable—although Raoni Barcelos vs. Umar Nurmagomedov should be a thriller..." - Zane Simon 1.12.23For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi every Thursday, 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.
