The Bloody Elbow staff has made its predictions for Saturday’s UFC 227 pay-per-view, and we’re almost entirely in agreement that TJ Dillashaw and Demetrious Johnson will successfully defend their respective titles. While no one is bold enough to go with Henry Cejudo over the reigning flyweight champion, we have Stephie Haynes, Tim Burke, and Victor Rodriguez picking Cody Garbrandt to get the bantamweight belt back from Dillashaw.
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.
