UFC 271: ADESANYA VS WHITTAKER 2, Picks, Odds, & Analysis | The MMA Vivisection

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection PPV CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on this massive 15-bout UFC 271: 'ADESANYA VS WHITTAKER 2' PPV event.

"Assuming the bulk of this card stays in place for the rest of fight week, the UFC has put together a pretty quality offering for their latest PPV event. The main event features a truly necessary rematch between middleweight’s two best fighters, Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker. Two of heavyweight’s hardest hitters face off in the co-main event, between Derrick Lewis and Tai Tuivasa. And we’ve even got a top contender’s bout at 185 between Derek Brunson and Jared Cannonier to set up a future main event." - Zane Simon

For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which will air at 2pm Central today, Th., Feb. 10th., 2022, right here on our SC channel.
