The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Saturday in Las Vegas will put on a tripleheader of title bouts in its final pay-per-view card of the year. We have identified some intriguing opportunities for all three championship matchups, a good underdog play and a parlay to end the year in style. Let us run the table in this UFC 245 edition of Prime Picks.
