The Bloody Elbow staff has made its predictions for UFC 224, which goes down Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It’s a unanimous choice for Amanda Nunes to beat Raquel Pennington and defend her women’s bantamweight title in the main event. As for the co-main event, the majority of us are picking Jacare Souza over Kelvin Gastelum in this key middleweight matchup. Mackenzie Dern’s massive weight miss also led to a couple of staff members going with Amanda Cooper for the upset.
Note: Predictions are entered throughout the week and collected the day before the event.
