Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to break down the main card of this week’s UFC event in Auckland, NZ. With picks and odds for every fight on the ESPN+ prelims. From Jalin Turner vs. Joshua Culibao down to Priscila Cachoeira vs. Shana Dobson.
The bout order for the UFC’s trip to Auckland is a bit weird, but the simple truth is that the main card should be non-stop action top to bottom. Paul Felder vs. Dan Hooker is an exceptional Fight Night main event, and the supporting bouts beneath it are all action bouts between fighters almost entirely known for their striking prowess. Expect some violence.
The prelims are a little more tame, by comparison. But, if you’d like to dive deeper into the undercard, check out the PRELIMS Vivi right here.
