The Bloody Elbow staff has submitted its predictions for Saturday’s UFC 219 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, Nevada. As expected, most of us are picking Cris Cyborg to defend her women’s featherweight title against Holly Holm, but Eddie Mercado, Victor Rodriguez, and Nick Baldwin all are going with Holm to pull off another shocker. In the co-main event,the majority are picking Khabib Nurmagomedov to defeat Edson Barboza, with Victor Rodriguez, Phil Mackenzie, and Tim Bissell siding with the Brazilian to hand Khabib his first loss.
Note: Predictions are entered throughout the week and collected the day before the event.
