Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch return to break down this week’s UFC event in Ottawa, Ontario, CA. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Al Iaquinta vs. Donald Cerrone in the main event down to Mitch Gagnon vs. Cole Smith in the opening prelims.

The UFC is headed to Ottawa this weekend with an ESPN+ Fight Night card that has a very ESPN+ Fight Night feel. Top ranked lightweights hold the main event slot, where Al Iaquinta will take on Donald Cerrone. A funky style-vs-style middlweight clash between Derek Brunson and Elias Theodorou takes the co-main, with a featherweight action bout between Cub Swanson and Shane Brugos adding some extra spice to the main card.
