The Bloody Elbow team has made its predictions for UFC Vegas 35, and only Stephie Haynes is going with Giga Chikadze to beat Edson Barboza in what is undoubtedly a firefight of a main event. We also lean towards Kevin Lee over Daniel Rodriguez in a fight that may be a bit trickier to predict than you might think.
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. For example, if Phil Mackenzie entered all of his predictions on Wednesday without adding in any explanations, he has no idea if he’s going to be the only one siding with one fighter for any given fight.
