It’s been awhile, but staff picks are back! The BE team has made its predictions for UFC 249, and most of us are backing Justin Gaethje to win the UFC interim lightweight title over Tony Ferguson. As for the co-main event, we are tempting fate by unanimously picking Henry Cejudo over Dominick Cruz for the men’s bantamweight strap.
Note: Predictions are entered throughout the week and collected the day before the event. Explanations behind each pick are not required and some writers opt not to do so for their own reasons.
