UFC 269: Oliveira vs Poirier, Picks, Odds & Analysis |The MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of 10 bouts on this massive 15-bout UFC 269: 'Olivieira vs. Poirier' PPV event.

"Like so many of the PPV cards the UFC has put on this year, this one is almost too stacked. Compelling, high level fights all up and down a card that could easily have still been great with 3-4 fewer fights. In the main event, Charles Oliveira makes the first defense of his lightweight title against former interim champion Dustin Poirier. Amanda Nunes makes the sixth defense of her bantamweight title in the co-main. And Geoff Neal vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio rounds out the card with a dose of Cody Garbrandt and Sean O’Malley." - Zane Simon

For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which already aired at 1pm Central today, Thurs., Dec. 9th., 2021, right here on our SC channel. From here on out, the Main Card show will always air at 1 CST, followed by the Prelims Show at 2 CST.
