Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to breakdown the main card for this week’s UFC event in Busan, South Korea. With picks and odds for Frankie Edgar vs. Chan Sung Jung down to Kyung Ho Kang vs. Liu Pingyuan
The UFC returns to South Korea for the first time since 2015 this week, with a card that’s probably best off airing in the middle of the night. The main event, between Frankie Edgar and Chan Sung Jung, is an excellent bout, but it feels like it would have been perfect 2-3 years ago. The co-main, between Volkan Oezdemir and Aleksandar Rakic promises to be an action fight. But, after that, things quickly venture into much less recognizable territory.
