MMASucka staff picks are locked in for tonight’s Thanksgiving weekend event. UFC on ESPN 18 will go down in a few short hours from the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main card will begin at 10:00pm ET (7:00pm PT) live on both ESPN+ and ESPN2.
The Fights
A fight between heavyweights Curtis Blaydes and Derrick Lewis was intended for the main event. However, a positive COVID-19 test pulled Blaydes from the card thus cancelling the fight in full. As a result, Anthony Smith and Devin Clark has been bumped up to serve as our featured fight.
