Zane Simon & Eddie Mercado are here to breakdown tonight’s event; the guys are here with hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event.
On the 20th of April, 2019, the UFC put on their UFC on ESPN+ 7 event on ESPN+ from St. Petersburg, Russia, so we had some early morning and afternoon fights to watch here in the states.
The event featured a heavyweight bout between former title contender, Alistair ‘The Demolition Man’ Overeem, with a 44-17-0, 1 NC record against Oleksiy ‘The Boa Constrictor’ Oleinik, with a 57-11-1 record, whose last two wins occurred in Round 1. Also of note on the card was a women’s flyweight bout between Valentina Shevchenko and Bloody Elbow’s own contributing author, Roxanne Modafferi (whom we were all rooting for).
