The MMA Vivisection - Invicta FC 29 & RIZIN 10 picks, odds, & analysis

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

The UFC is off again this week, but there are still some big fights to talk about. Invicta FC is back in Kansas City, and they’ve got former Strikeforce champion Sarah Kaufman headlining, with former (intended) title challenger Pannie Kianzad in the co-main event. Rizin, however, is stealing the ‘big fight’ spotlight, with former UFC title contender Kyoji Horiguchi taking on Ian McCall in the main event. Plus Tenshin Nasukawa kickboxing and a slew of action bouts.
