Welcome back to the Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em, where this week we will try and make sense of the card they're calling "UFC Vegas 40."
It's a weird one: Lupita Godinez will be looking to set a UFC record by fighting just seven days after her win at Fight Night 194, while Aspen Ladd will appear in the main event just two weeks after a blown weight cut forced her out of her scheduled bout with Macy Chiasson. In the "thank heaven for small favors" department, at least both women will be fighting up a weight class from their usual divisions.
