Shillan and Duffy: UFC 288 Preview

NOTE: The Belal Muhammad-Gilbert Burns co-main event is, in fact, five rounds. Keith and Ben discussed the difference that might make, but keep in mind that Ben goofed and it's a five-rounder.

Keith and Ben preview UFC 288 "Sterling vs. Cejudo," with background, analysis, detailed predictions and picks for all 14 fights. There's a solid batch of upset calls and more disagreement than usual. How much did we lose when one of the top pound-for-pound fighters decided to walk away for three years in his prime? Sidetrack conversation topics include: bigamy in former Soviet republics, the geography of New York State and Brazilian jiu-jitsu firestarter Marc Laimon.
