This weekend (Sat., June 5, 2021), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will return to UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, for UFC Vegas 28. Let’s be honest, if not for the rare weekend absent of a UFC event a few days back, fight fans may have turned their noses at Saturday’s offering. It’s far from the best card to take place inside UFC Apex, but nevertheless, there are still fun and interesting fights . if you search for them.
Let’s take a closer look at some main card donnybrooks:
Preview and predictions for UFC Fight Night: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai, which features a heavyweight clash between Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Augusto Sakai.
Heavyweights reign supreme with the UFC back in Las Vegas this weekend, and Jon Litterine is back to offer his preview and DFS picks, including multiple main-card upsets.
Aaron Pico has his next fight queued up.
The top MMA prospect will fight Aiden Lee at Bellator 260 on June 11 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, sources told ESPN on Tuesday. That card will be broadcast on Showtime and headlined by a welterweight title fight between champion Douglas Lima and challenger Yaroslav Amosov.
Pico (7-3) has won three straight all by finish after two knockout losses. The California native is 3-1 since making the move to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to train at Jackson Wink MMA alongside the likes of former UFC champions Jon Jones and Holly Holm.
Pico, 24, was touted as the greatest prospect in MMA history ahead of his 2017 debut in Bellator. He nearly made the Olympics in wrestling and owns a national Golden Gloves boxing title. Pico has had some ups and downs thus far, but he seems to have started to put it together.
