UFC 281: Adesanya vs Pereira, 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 9 bouts on this 14-bout UFC 281: 'Adesanya vs Pereira' PPV event. "It’s UFC PPV week and that means another card stacked top to bottom with fantastic fights. The main event will see Israel Adesanya face off with the only man to knock him out in combat sports, Alex Pereira—this time with the UFC middleweight title on the line. In the co-main Carla Esparza looks to make the first defense of her second reign as strawweight champ, against former belt holder Weili Zhang. Throw some Dustin Poirier vs. Michael Chandler action in there and it’s a guaranteed good time." - Zane Simon 11.10.22 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., Nov. 10th., 2022, right here on our SC channel.
