UFC 290 Predictions: Bleacher Report Main Card Staff Picks

The UFC's annual International Fight Week bonanza is now well underway in Las Vegas, and on Saturday night, the fistic festivities will conclude with a stacked UFC 290 card.

The pay-per-view from the T-Mobile Arena will be topped by a pair of title fights.

In the marquee spot, reigning featherweight champion and pound-for-pound staple Alexander Volkanovski will attempt to defend his title against the always unpredictable Yair Rodriguez, who currently holds interim gold in the division.

Before the featherweight title gets unified, flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will put his belt on the line in a fight with long-time contender Alexandre Pantoja, who holds a 2018 decision win over the champion and also beat him on The Ultimate Fighter.
