The UFC has been delivering events fast and furiously over the past month, but none is bigger than UFC 167, which is scheduled for Saturday. The magnitude of the event is in large part thanks to the presence of Georges St-Pierre and the anticipation of his mysterious announcement.

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Luckily, the wait for Bleacher Report’s official UFC 167 main card staff picks is over.
