Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of FIVE bouts on the UFC VEGAS 9: 'Overeem vs. Sakai' event. Sign up for ESPN+ and watch #UFCVEGAS9: #OVEREEMVSSAKAI - #UFCAPEX — Sept. 5th., 2020 at: go.web.plus.espn.com/c/482924/56698…id=BloodyElbow This weekend doesn’t showcase one of the #UFC’s more electrifying offerings. Both the heavyweight main event, between Alistair Overeem & Augusto Sakai, and the light heavyweight co-main, between Ovince St. Preux & Alonzo Menifield, have serious potential to turn into slogs if they don’t end early. And while there are some interesting prospects up and down the rest of the card, it doesn’t feel like an event with much potential to immediately impact any one division. For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi at 2pm Central today, Thurs., September 3rd., 2020, right here on our SC channel.
