UFC 270: N'Gannou vs Gane, 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 8 bouts on this 13-bout UFC 270: 'N'Gannou vs Gane' PPV event.

"The UFC returns to PPV this Saturday with a card somewhat ravaged by COVID and injuries. Still, the main and the co-main event both promise to be fantastic, so as long as Francis Ngannou squares off with Ciryl Gane and Brandon Moreno fights Deiveson Figueiredo to close out the show, the rest really doesn’t matter too much." - 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., Jan. 20th., 2022, right here on our SC channel.

The MMA Vivisection is brought to you by 'The Fine Art of Violence', a collection of art and essays recapping the year in MMA by Chris Rini, featuring the most talented artists and writers in Mixed Martial Arts. The book is available in both hard copy and digital formats at chrisrini.com.
