Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch return to breakdown this week’s UFC event in Sao Paulo, Brazil. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Jan Blachowicz vs. Ronaldo Souza in the main event, down to Vanessa Melo vs. Tracy Cortez in the opening prelims.
The UFC heads to Brazil this week for a fight card that, while not actually bad, feels very hard to work up enthusiasm for—following eleven straight weeks of UFC events. Fortunately, this also marks the end of that run, with two whole weeks off for Thanksgiving. In the meantime, Jacare vs. Blachowicz should actually be pretty interesting. But the card has a few bouts that could result in some sad outcomes.
