Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, March 16th, 2023, with the MMA Vivisection MAIN CARD SHOW; breaking down a set of 5 bouts on the massive action-packed UFC 286 PPV card. 'Leon Edwards vs. Kamaru Usman 3' is a 15-bout event..."After the recent UFC 285 PPV extravaganza, UFC 286 looks just a little tiny bit shabbier by comparison. The main event between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards is great, as is the co-main between Justin Gaethje and Rafael Fiziev.
