    UFC 309 Prelims: That's Not My Boy

    The preliminary portion of the event is serviceable, but again, it’s not the best either. It would make one helluva on-the-road card, but we must be grateful for the scraps we receive. At the top of the undercard in the featured prelim spot is a great pairing of Jonathan Martinez and the powerhouse that is Marcus McGhee. The rest is a mix-mash of veterans with a single debut nestled among them. Let’s take a look at the event’s prelims and the alternative stats: MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.

    UFC Vegas 100 Prelims: New Apex of Suck

    Hard to believe there have been 99 events held at the Apex because we can’t remember most of them. This particular card is especially bad considering the momentous occasion of hosting 100 shows under its roof. 14 fighters coming off losses for a 12-fight card is shameful. As the title suggests, it truly is a new apex of suck. Let’s take a look at the event’s main portion and the alternative stats. Of note: The bout order was changed from yesterday, with Kowalkiewicz vs. Gomes moving to the featured prelim spot. MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.

    UFC Vegas 100 Main Card: 2 Cool 4 School

    The Apex will celebrate its 100th UFC event this Saturday night and they did absolutely nothing to celebrate the milestone. Instead, the promotion decided they would present the worst Apex card of the year, perhaps the worst one ever—a feat hard to achieve with 99 bare-minimum cards under their belt already. We do slightly lament the loss of Garbrandt-Johns, but aside from the main event, there’s a plethora of going-nowhere fights. Lateral movement is everywhere you look. But the main event is a juicy one and Zane’s favor is shining upon Prates despite his Fighting Nerds home. Let’s take a look at the event’s main portion and the alternative stats: MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. UFC Vegas 100 Main Card * Neil Magny  vs.  Carlos Prates 170 lbs * Karolina Kowalkiewicz  vs.  Denise Gomes 115 lbs * Ricky Turcios  vs.  Benardo Sopaj 135 lbs * G. Meerschaert  vs.  Reinier de Ridder 185 lbs * Luana Pinheiro  vs.  Gillian Robertson 115 lbs UFC Vegas 100 Alternative Facts * Ranked fights: 1 * Ranked fighters: 3 * Fighters coming off losses: 14 * Contender Series alumni: 6 * TUF alumni: 4 * Debuting fighters: 4 There’s no bonus section this week as Zane was in Mexico and wasn’t able to watch the card, but they will return to form next week. Make sure to tune in immediately after this Saturday’s fights for breakdowns and analysis on our 6th Round Post-Fight Show. Thank you for reading this article and listening to the podcast.

    UFC Vegas 99 Main Card: Durr-Devil

    You guys and gals aren’t going to believe this, but a mythical entity is afoot. The ultra-rare decent Apex card. That’s right kids, we’re getting a pretty solid event with UFC Vegas 99. Not only do we get three ranked fights, we have some really good matchmaking at play, as well. Charles Johnson vs. Sumudaerji is certified fresh. The main event is good, too. Middleweight doesn’t look completely barren these days. It’s not robust, by any means, but it’s got potential, and it’s been awhile since we’ve been able to say that. Let’s take a look at the bouts of the main portion as well as some alternative stats: MMA Vivisection & 6th Round is a reader-supported publication.
