UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3, Picks, Odds, & Analysis | The MMA Vivisection PRELIMS Show

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, March 16th, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW; breaking down a set of 10 bouts on the massive action-packed UFC 286 PPV card. 'Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3' is a 15-bout event...

"After the recent UFC 285 PPV extravaganza, UFC 286 looks just a little tiny bit shabbier by comparison. The main event between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards is great, as is the co-main between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev. After that, it’s a fine event of solid bookings, just lacking that tiny bit of extra edge, perhaps. Still, expectations should be high that fans will get a great night of fights.

For listeners looking to support our podcasting work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, we now officially have a 'Vivisection/6th Round/MMA Depressed-us' Patreon. Both event week shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward. However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to our non-event week show, 'The MMA Depressed-us Podcast', from here on out." - Zane Simon 3.16.23
