Read the Bloody Elbow staff’s picks and predictions for Saturday’s UFC 223: Khabib vs. Iaquinta fight card.

The Bloody Elbow staff has submitted its picks and predictions for what remains of UFC 223. As you might expect, we overwhelmingly agree that Khabib Nurmagomedov will beat Al Iaquinta in the main event, with only three staffers going for the chaos of an Iaquinta upset win. Opinion is more split on the co-main between Rose Namajunas and Joanna Jedrzejczyk, which is decidedly different from the last time these two met.

Note: Predictions are entered throughout the week and collected the day before the event. Explanations behind each pick are not required and some writers opt not to do so for their own reasons.
