Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW, breaking down a set of 5 bouts on this 11-bout UFC Vegas 63: 'Kattar vs Allen' Fight Night event.
"As is so often the case with the UFC, a major PPV binge is getting followed by a bit of a hangover from the promotion’s matchmakers. Arnold Allen vs. Calvin Kattar is a great main event fight. After that, it’s hard to fight another fighter ranked near the top of their division, let alone carefully booked bouts." - Zane Simon 10.27.22
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., Oct. 27th., 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.
