Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to breakdown this week’s UFC event in Las Vegas, NV. With picks and odds for every fight on the main card. From Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes in the UFC 247 main event, down to Derrick Lewis vs. Ilir Latifi in the main card opener.
Pretty much a two-fight offering from the UFC this week. Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes is a fascinating bout and should provide bell-to-bell elite MMA action. The co-main event looks to be another potential showcase for champion Valentina Shevchenko, against challenger Katlyn Chookagian. As for the rest? Ige vs. Bektic should be a quality scrap, but the heavyweight bouts have a big potential to drag. Overall, it’s an undercard of few highlights.
