Jimmy Smith is back to talk Edgar vs. Holloway, Cyborg vs. Spencer, and more!
Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are once agian joined by Jimmy Smith to breakdown this week’s UFC event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Max Holloway vs. Frankie Edgar in the main event to Tanner Boser vs. Giacomo Lemos in the opening prelims.
UFC 240 is something of a ‘mileage may vary’ kind of PPV. Do you love watching Max Holloway and Cris Cyborg fight? Then this card has stuff for you. Are you into well-booked action fights no matter who the fighters are? Then yeah, UFC 240 will probably fill your void. But, outside the main event and Cyborg, it’s definitely a card short on name value. And it’s only one or two last-minute injuries away from being pure Fight Night material.
For fans that want to dig deeper into the lineup, however, we’ve got them covered with a complete breakdown of the UFC 240 prelims—which you can watch right here, via YouTube (or check out over on SoundCloud):
