The MMA Vivisection - UFC Belem: Machida vs. Anders picks, odds, & analysis

Zane Simon & Connor Ruebusch break down this weekend’s UFC card in Belem, Brazil. With picks and odds for ever bout on the card. From Lyoto Machida vs. Eryk Anders in the main event down to Maia Stevenson vs. Polyiana Viana in the opening prelims.

The UFC is back with something of an under-the-radar card this week. If their FOX offering last week was just underwhelming, UFC Belem looks a lot more like the kind of FS1 fun action card fans generally expect. Eryk Anders could make a serious name for himself with a win over Lyoto Machida. John Dodson looks to keep the gates against Pedro Munhoz, and Valentina Shevchenko is preparing to introduce herself as the future queen of flyweight. And most of the rest of the card should be a good time too.
