The UFC’s 2015 schedule, as well as MMAjunkie’s staff and readers’ picks contest, close on Saturday with UFC on FOX 17. Will we see the crowning of yet another UFC champ?
UFC on FOX 17 takes place Saturday at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
In the headliner, six of nine staffers predict Donald Cerrone (28-6 MMA, 15-3 UFC) will dethrone lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos (24-7 MMA, 13-5 UFC) to become the new 155-pound titleholder.
Elsewhere on the card, Junior dos Santos (17-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) is the 8-1 pick over fellow heavyweight Alistair Overeem (39-14 MMA, 4-3 UFC), Michael Johnson (16-9 MMA, 8-5 UFC) is the unanimous pick over veteran lightweight Nate Diaz (17-10 MMA, 12-8 UFC), and Randa Markos (5-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is the narrow 5-4 choice over strawweight newcomer Karolina Kowalkiewicz (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
In the consensus picks from MMAjunkie readers, Cerrone, Dos Santos, Johnson and Markos got the nods.
Check out all the picks above. Additionally, leave your individual main-card picks below. As usual, MMAjunkie reader “IAMMA” is organizing the MMAjunkie Member Picks, where “sadowolf” has already wrapped up the 2015 season title.
