Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to breakdown this week’s UFC 247 undercard in Houston, TX. With picks and analysis for every fight on the ESPN & ESPN+ prelims. From Trevin Giles vs. Antonio Arroyo down to Austin Lingo vs. Youssef Zalal
This week’s UFC 247 card takes a sharp turn downward from its main and co-main event. And unfortunately, for anyone focusing purely on the prelims (as we are here) they’re really pretty underwhelming. Notable highlights include Mario Bautista vs. Miles Jons and Lauren Murphy vs. Andrea Lee. Oh, and Alex Morono is always fun. But it’s not much of a lead in for the PPV main card, all told.
