The Bloody Elbow team has made its picks for UFC 248, and the majority of us are backing Israel Adesanya to beat Yoel Romero in the main event to successfully defend his middleweight title. Meanwhile, the consensus is that Weili Zhang will defend her title by beating Joanna Jedrzejcyk in the co-main event.
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.
Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero
Anton Tabuena: This is pretty straight forward, but it doesn’t mean it’s an easy pick.
