Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to break down this week’s UFC event in Las Vegas, with picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Chan Sung Jung vs. Dan Ige in the main event down to Lara Procopio vs. Casey O’Neill in the opening prelim.
This week’s UFC card is… I guess we’ll just call it a cool down from the promotion loading up last week’s PPV with quality fights. It’s got a great action bout in the main event between Chan Sung Jung and Dan Ige. But, after that, the quality takes a pretty steep drop. There are a few highlights here and there, but mostly it seems like the UFC just has some contract requirements to meet.
For fans who want to dive deeper into the (admittedly very shallow) undercard, check out the Prelims Vivi below.
