The Bloody Elbow staff has made its predictions for UFC Minneapolis, and there’s a slight edge for Francis Ngannou over Junior dos Santos in the main event. As for the co-main, most of us are picking Joseph Benavidez to make it 2-0 against Jussier Formiga.
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. For example, if Phil Mackenzie entered all of his predictions on Wednesday without adding in any explanations, he has no idea if he’s going to be the only one siding with one fighter for any given fight.
