Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to break down this week’s UFC event in Las Vegas, NV. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Max Holloway vs. Yair Rodriguez in the main event down to Kennedy Nzechukwu vs. Da Un Jung in the opening prelim.
The UFC delivered two smoking hot cards over the last couple weeks, with UFC 267 delivering a remarkable title fight upset and UFC 268 giving two champs a chance to defend with gritty performances. But, now the promotion is back to putting together thinner offerings. Max Holloway takes on Yair Rodriguez in what should be a fantastic featherweight fight. After that, however, the pickings are slim.
