UFC VEGAS 28: Rozenstruik vs Sakai Picks, Odds, & Analysis | The MMA Vivisection

Zane Simon & guest host, Dan Tom, are here with the MMA Vivisection PRELIMS SHOW, breaking down a set of eight bouts on this 14-bout UFC VEGAS 28 'Rozenstruik vs. Sakai' Preliminary Card.

"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." - Zane Simon

For those fans who wish to dive deeper into the MAIN CARD, check out that version of the MMA Vivi which airs at 2pm Central today, Thurs., June 3rd., 2021, right here on our SC channel.
