Can Lewis back JDS up?
Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch are back to breakdown this week’s UFC event in Wichita, Kansas. With picks and odds for every fight on the card. From Derrick Lewis vs. Junior dos Santos in the main event down to Dan Moret vs. Alex White in the opening prelims.
The UFC returns for the start of a four week run of smaller shows. Hopefully the ESPN+ card pacing fans got from the recent Assuncao vs. Moraes 2 event holds, otherwise some of these shows could really drag. This week, in Wichita, the main attraction is a heavyweight bout between former champ Junior dos Santos and former challenger Derrick Lewis. An all-violence welterweight fight between Elizeu Zaleski and Curtis Millender stands out in the co-main as well.
If you’re interested in the prelims, you can find our breakdown of those fights below (and watch them the old fashioned way on YouTube as well):
