Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to break down this week’s UFC undercard in Norfolk, VA. With picks and odds for every bout on the ESPN+ prelims.
This week’s UFC card is not strong. Whether it’s the main card, which features a fantastic flyweight title fight, a light heavyweight bout, and not much else. Or the prelims that lean heavy on unproven newcomers, this just isn’t the UFC’s best offering.
From the undercard, Ismail Naurdiev vs. Sean Brady should be a solid technical striking battle. And Brendan Allen vs. Tom Breese promises to be an exciting middleweight clash. As far as all the rest go? Hopefully the fights are at least fast paced.
