UFC San Diego: Vera vs Cruz, 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 7 bouts on this 13-bout UFC San Diego: 'Vera vs Cruz' Fight Night event.

"This week’s UFC card isn’t anything to write home about. It’s got a top tier main event, but the drop-off afterward is steep and the highlights are few. Marlon Vera vs. Dominick Cruz should be a fantastic contest that could see either man enter the circle of bantamweight top contenders. That’s about all there is to know.." - Zane Simon 08.11.22

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., Aug. 11th., 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.
