The Bloody Elbow team has made its predictions for UFC Fight Island 5 and we are split on the main event betwen Marlon Moraes and Cory Sandhagen, a fight that has major implications on the men’s bantamweight division. As for the co-main we are all backing Edson Barboza to beat late replacement Makwan Amirkhani.
Marlon Moraes vs. Cory Sandhagen
Mookie Alexander: I am selfishly rooting for Sandhagen if only because a Moraes win makes it very possible the UFC screws Aljamain Sterling over and denies him the title shot he’s rightfully deserved.
