Main card staff picks are in.
UFC 224 goes down tonight with a solid pay-per-view lineup from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the main event, current champion Amanda Nunes looks to defend her bantamweight title against long-time UFC veteran Raquel Pennington. Nunes is coming off a split decision victory last September over now-flyweight competitor Valentina Shevchenko. This will be Pennington’s first fight in well over a year since defeating Miesha Tate at the historic UFC 205 card.
The co-main event sees a pivotal match-up between top middleweights Jacare Souza and Kelvin Gastelum.
