Zane Simon and Connor Ruebusch are back to break down this week’s UFC Fight Island 6 event on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. With picks and odds for every bout on the card. From Chan Sung Jung vs. Brian Ortega in the main event down to Said Nurmagomedov vs. Mark Striegl in the opening prelims.
A really fantastic Fight Night offering from the UFC this week. The main event between Brian Ortega and the ‘Korean Zombie’ Chan Sung Jung is a guaranteed elite action fight. And it’s backed up by the flyweight debut of Jessica Andrade, against former title challenger Katlyn Chookagian. Throw Claudio Silva vs. James Kruase and some Thomas Almeida violence in there and it should be blast.
