Zane Simon is joined by MMA Junkie’s Dan Tom this week to break down the latest UFC event at the Apex facility in Las Vegas, NV. With picks and odds for every bout on the card. From Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Augusto Sakai in the main event down to Jordan Leavitt vs. Claudio Puelles in the opening prelim.

The UFC didn’t exactly stack the deck this week, but even though Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Augusto Sakai and Walt Harris vs. Marcin Tybura may not be the most thrilling main & co-main events, it’s still a solid Fight Night from top to bottom. If nothing else, Ponzinibbio vs. Baeza should make for a thriller.

For fans interested in diving deeper into the undercard, check out the Prelims Vivi below. And, a special thanks to Dan Tom, who stepped up to fill in as this week’s co-host.
