Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, March 9th, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW; breaking down a set of 8 bouts on the massive action-packed UFC Vegas 71 Fight Night card. 'Petr Yan vs. Merab Dvalishvili' is a 14-bout event... "It’s always nice to see the UFC follow strength with strength. The world’s largest MMA promotion is coming off a huge PPV last week, with UFC 285, and now they’re right back at it with a top class ‘Fight Night’ event. In the headliner, former champion Petr Yan takes on top contender Merab Dvalishvili. They’re accompanied by a top ranked heavyweight bout between Alexander Volkov and Alexander Romanov, alongside what was meant to be the headliner from two weeks ago—a light heavyweight tilt between Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann. Should be a blast. For listeners looking to support our podcasting work as Bloody Elbow leaves the VOX network of sites, we now officially have a 'Vivisection/6th Round/MMA Depressed-us' Patreon. Both event week shows will continue to be posted, for free on BE, SoundCloud, YouTube and other podcasting apps going forward. However, the Patreon will give fans exclusive access to our non-event week show, 'The MMA Depressed-us Podcast', from here on out." - Zane Simon 3.09.23 Become a devoted degenerate Patron here: https://patreon.com/mmavivisection?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=join_link For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the 6 bouts on the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi every Thursday, right here on our SC channel.
