UFC Fight Night 104 staff picks: Our readers like 'The Korean Zombie,' but do our staffers agree?


The UFC is back in Texas this week for UFC Fight Night 104, which takes place the night before Super Bowl LI in the city.

UFC Fight Night 101 takes place Saturday at Toyota Center in Houston. The event airs on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, Dennis Bermudez (16-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) takes on “The Korean Zombie,” Chan Sung Jung (13-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC), who returns following a layoff of three and a half years. And with a break from action for that long, it’s not too surprising that all nine of our MMAjunkie editors, writers and radio hosts are picking Bermudez, a 2-1 favorite in the featherweight headliner.

The co-main event, Alexa Grasso (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) puts her unbeaten record on the line against veteran Felice Herrig (11-6 MMA, 2-1 UFC) in a women’s strawweight bout. Grasso has a 6-3 edge from our pickers in the fight.

Also on the main card, Abel Trujillo (15-6 MMA, 6-2 UFC) takes on James Vick (9-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in a lightweight fight, and eight of our nine staff members are taking Vick. Newcomer Volkan Oezdemir (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) fights Ovince Saint Preux (19-9 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in a light heavyweight bout, and Saint Preux is our other unanimous pick on the card as a heavy favorite.

Marcel Fortuna (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) makes his promotional debut against Anthony Hamilton (15-6 MMA, 3-4 UFC) at heavyweight, and only one of our pickers is taking Fortuna to pull off the upset. And to open up the main card, Jessica Andrade (15-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) is the event’s heaviest favorite in her fight against former Invicta FC strawweight champion Angela Hill (6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC). Andrade has an 8-1 edge in the picks.

In the MMAjunkie reader consensus picks, Jung, Grasso, Trujillo, Saint Preux, Hamilton and Andrade are the choices.

Check out all the picks above.
