The Bloody Elbow staff has made its picks for Saturday’s UFC 266 card in Las Vegas, and we are going with Alexander Volkanovski over Brian Ortega in the main event. No one is feeling adventurous enough to pick Lauren Murphy to unseat Valentina Shevchenko as women’s flyweight champion. Most of us are going with Robbie Lawler to get some revenge on Nick Diaz and spoil his highly anticipated comeback.
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.
