Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are here today, February 9th, 2023, with 'The MMA Vivisection' PRELIMS SHOW; breaking down a set of 8 bouts on the 'UFC 284' PPV Prelims card. 'Makhachev vs Volkanovski' & 'Rodriguez vs Emmett' is a 13-bout PPV event, featuring two title fights headlining the top of the PPV card...

"The UFC is back on PPV this week with an amazing headliner fight for a card that otherwise doesn’t feel much like a PPV. The co-main, between Yair Rodriguez and Josh Emmett is great, and Jack Della Maddalena vs. Randy Brown looks like a thriller, but after that, it’s pure Fight Night undercard filler.
