UFC Vegas 59: SANTOS VS HILL, Picks, Odds, & Analysis | The MMA Vivisection

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 6 bouts on this 12-bout UFC Vegas 59: 'Santos vs Hill' Fight Night event.

"The UFC is back in Vegas once again with another middling Fight Night offering. Apart from being saddled with the finale of another season of TUF, UFC Vegas 59 features a potentially slow paced LHW top contender’s bout between Thiago Santos and Jamahal Hill. At least the welterweight bout between Vicente Luque and Geoff Neal in the co-main event promises to be a war." - Zane Simon 08.04.22

For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the PRELIMS, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which airs at 2PM Central today, Thurs., Aug. 4th., 2022, right here on our SC channel.
