The MMA Vivisection Shows: 'Main Card Preview' & 'Prelims Card Preview'

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comUnlike last week, where Brandon Royval and Matheus Nicolau were left buried on the prelims, this week's UFC Vegas 71 undercard is light on gems. Ricky Glenn takes on Christos Giagos in the featured slot. A fight between Montel Jackson and Rani Yahya is the other most meaningful fight outside the top 5 bouts. After a couple big PPVs and great smaller car…

A banger of a main event between Max Holloway and Arnold Allen that could very well rocket the Brit to title contention off a victory. Throw Billy Quarantillo taking a step up against Edson Barboza and a surefire firefight between Pedro Munhoz and Chris Gutierrez in there and i…

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.com“Surprisingly enough for a smaller event, UFC Fight Night Holloway vs Allen has a rock solid prelim card as well. Mostly that’s thanks to a truly wretched booking decision from the UFC, which has a top contender’s bout between Brandon Royval and Matheus Nicolau buried deep in the undercard. Flyweights really do get no love. Bill Algeo vs. TJ Brown shoul…

The UFC is back on PPV this week, and while UFC 287 isn’t their strongest offering ever, it’s a solid enough card with a few gems for fans. The main event features the quadrilogy bout between Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira, with just as many questions hanging over it as their first three meetings. The co-main between Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal isn’t nearly so compelling, but bouts for Adrian Yanez, Kevin Holland, and Raul Rosas Jr. should make for a strong event.The UFC 287 prelims have a couple notable highlights… much like the main card of this week’s UFC 287 PPV event, the prelims are…fine, not great. A middleweight bout between Kelvin Gastelum and Chris Curtis is set for the feature prelim slot and looks like a strong crossroads bout for both men, but might also just be a slow-simmering staring match. Michelle Waterson and Gerald Meerschaert hope to slam the gates on upstart prospects, while Karl Williams looks to keep his train rolling.For those looking to dive deeper into the Main PPV card, check out the Main Card Vivi released today on the Bloody Elbow Podcast Network, and right here on Substack it is found in the ‘MMA Vivisection Shows Tab’ at the top of the homepage.The Bloody Elbow MMA Vivisection Podcasts are listener-supported broadcasts.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit themmadrawpodcast.substack.comThe UFC is back in Texas this week with a Fight Night card that’s really thriving on it’s main event. Cory Sandhagen vs. Marlon Vera should be an absolute thriller. The rest of the card may not have so much sparkle, but Nate Landwehr vs. Austin Lingo will be fun and Andrea Lee vs. Maycee Barber is a solid flyweight scrap. Should make for some fun finish…

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.

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, March 9th, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW; breaking down a set of 8 bouts on the massive action-packed UFC Vegas 71 Fight Night card. 'Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili' is a 14-bout event..."It’s always nice to see the UFC follow strength with strength. The world’s largest MMA promotion is coming off a huge PPV last week, with UFC 285, and now they’re right back at it with a top class ‘Fight Night’ event. In the headliner, former champion Petr Yan takes on top contender Merab Dvalishvili. They’re accompanied by a top ranked heavyweight bout between Alexander Volkov and Alexander Romanov, alongside what was meant to be the headliner from two weeks ago—a light heavyweight tilt between Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann.
