UFC VEGAS 49: MAKHACHEV VS GREEN, Picks, Odds, & Analysis | The MMA Vivisection

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on this now 11-bout UFC Vegas 49: 'Makhachev vs Green' Fight Night event. "Credit to Bobby Green, if he hadn’t stepped up to take on Islam Makhachev with little more than a week’s notice, this Saturday’s UFC card would be a complete mess. Arman Tsarukyan vs. Joel Alvarez stands out as the event’s other major highlight fight on a card that has some interesting matchups but very little stakes or notoriety." - Zane Simon For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which airs at 2PM Central today, Thurs., Feb. 24th., 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.
