Welcome back to the Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em, where this week we will take our best shots at UFC Fight Night 197.
The 11-fight offering nicknamed "UFC Vegas 42" may seem a bit lean compared to the back-to-back blockbusters of the past two weekends, but the main card features a pair of high-stakes matchups that may determine the next challenger for the men's as well as women's featherweight titles. Beyond the Max Holloway-Yair Rodriguez headliner and the Felicia Spencer-Leah Letson feature bout, there are also a couple of near-guaranteed "Fight of the Night" candidates and a heaping handful of promising prospects throughout.
