Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to break down this week’s UFC VEGAS 15 event in Nevada. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis in the main event down to Luke Sanders vs. Nate Maness in the opening prelim.
This week’s UFC VEGAS 15 offering is almost entirely unremarkable outside the main event. Curtis Blaydes vs. Derrick Lewis promises to be a fascinating battle of top ranked heavyweights. Blaydes’ unrelenting takedowns against Lewis’ uncanny ability to survive on the mat and work his way back up for late knockouts. After that, Anthony Smith gets a chance to rebound from a couple ugly losses and… not a whole lot else.
Still, for fans who just can’t help wanting to know more about the undercard, check out the Prelims Vivi below.
