Who You Got? Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em: UFC 267
Welcome back to the Sherdog Staff Pick 'Em, where this week we will
take our best shots at
UFC 267.
The UFC's return to Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi is a massive slate of fights — even after losing the Damir Ismagulov-Magomed Mustafaev fight due to Ismagulov's colossal weight miss, the 14 bouts that remain represent possibly the promotion's biggest card of the year, at least in terms of divisional relevance. The two title fights that close out the evening are garnering most of the attention, along with the long-awaited return of Chechen phenom Khamzat Chimaev, but the other three fights on the main card are all Top 10 matchups as well, an almost unheard-of collection of talent on one card.
While the card is stacked, it is lopsided as well, at least in the eyes of the Pick 'Em league. There are four unanimous picks, and no fight is closer than about 70/30. Time will tell whether we rise or fall as one.
