Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to breakdown this week’s UFC VEGAS 7 event at the Apex facility in Las Vegas, NV. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Pedro Munhoz vs. Frankie Edgar in the main event down to Mark Striegl vs. Timur Valiev in the opening prelims.
The UFC’s fully packed event calendar isn’t about to stop any time soon. Unfortunately, with a busy 2020 in full swing, not every card is can look like a winner on paper. The main event of this week’s Fight Night promises to be a fascinating bantamweight contest between Pedro Munhoz and former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar. After that? The pickings get pretty damn slim.
