Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch return to breakdown this week’s UFC action in Moscow, Russia. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Mark Hunt vs. Oleksiy Oliynyk in the main event down to Terrion Ware vs. Merab Dvalishvili on the prelim opener.
The UFC returns this weekend with the best possible kind of lower-tier fight card. Mostly meaningless, hopefully fun, and fast moving. In fact, Saturday morning MMA is really one of the best ways to enjoy the sport. Grab a cup of coffee, maybe a doughnut, and watch Mark Hunt, Oleksiy Oliynyk, Andrei Arlovski, Nikita Krylov, and a whole bevy of fresh prospects looking to make a big splash in the Octagon.
As you may have noticed, things are changing with the Bloody Elbow webcast format. We’re moving away from live video and toward purely audio podcasts. This may be the last Vivisection on video for the foreseeable future.
We will be using Bloody Elbow Presents as a home for our shows, but they’ll be pre-recorded and in an audio-only, hour long format. Otherwise, just like always, our shows will continue to be broadcast on SoundCloud and iTunes in their familiar homes.
Here’s a quick video to explain the upcoming changes:
There will be some formatting changes to come. Many shows will get shorter, and hopefully a little more cleanly produced. So hang with us as we make the switch and we’ll be sure to keep producing the content you enjoy.
